You Only Live Once

After 12 long hours with the electricity out (little did I know another 26 were to follow...) I decided to preoccupy myself with something a little bit more crafty than staring at the wall. For a while now I've been wanting to play with gold foil paper and cut out letters, so when the opportunity presented itself (and the alternative was not quite as endearing) this time I took it. 

This is the first one I have done so far - a series which I will develop over time of quotes and words or anything that makes sense to me. Each letter has been traced from Helvetica Bold print outs and then painstakingly cut by hand.
