Day 52 of the papercutting project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
close ups:
Day 51 of the papercutting project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
I actually like this one!
Halfway through my papercutting project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
49th day of this papercutting project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
Up close this one definitely looks like it needs a few more tweaks, but it will be nice when it’s properly finished:
Day 48 of my papercutting project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
Wow – I’m already on Day 47 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
The shadows make this one look wonkier than it is in real life (honest!)
Day 46 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
Wow, this one felt so much different to yesterday’s papercut, when I was using a fairly blunt blade and really fighting with the paper and accidentally ripping it, etc. Today the new blade made the cutting so much easier and more precise, and definitely more enjoyable and less sweary.
Day 45 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book, in preparation for incorporating them in future papercuts that are made by laser and also by hand.)
This one looks OK from a distance…
…but on closer inspection I ripped a few of the really fine lines. Serves me right – I was using a really blunt blade that I hadn’t been bothered to change, and so it ended up more like carving the design than cutting it. Must get a new blade for the next one.
Day 44 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book)
I quite like this one. Maybe I’m getting a bit less critical of my hand-cut work…
Day 43 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book)
Er, I’m not 100% sure what this is, to be honest. A fish? A dolphin/plant hybrid?
