ILLUSTRATION COMMISSION

The bi-monthly publication of The Scout Association, Scouting Magazine, commissioned Becki to create paper cut botanicals to accompany their editorial piece Helpful Herbs; an article which reflected upon the Scout’s use of herbs as remedies for the injured during WWII. The project began with Becki illustrating flora, fauna and herbaceous plants which she then developed into paper cuts, all of which were used throughout the editorial’s accompanying imagery. Each paper cut was constructed true to the actual size and appearance of the plants and flowers mentioned in each herbal recipe of the feature.
