Offcuts

I'm asked to draw scissors for the third issue of Proof, the magazine of Thejusticegap.com. This number is about legal aid cuts and access to justice.

Okay. My pinking shears (dianthus flowers are called pinks because they look pinked, not pink) make seam edges neat. They are not chosen.

My dressmaking shears from Morplan (the West End rag trade emporium where you go for tiara stands) try to look hard. An innocent implement for a tough subject.
