Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 040

Forty days into this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book)!

It’s a bit lopsided up close, but is one of those that felt very satisfying to cut, and where I don’t mind the little idiosyncrasies too much because they just show that it’s hand-cut instead of laser-cut:

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 039

Day 39 of this project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book).

No twirly moustache and evil grin today (unlike yesterday):

Not toooo bad, and isn’t too lumpy considering how close up this image is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 038

Back on track, and here is my current project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book).

Is it just me, or does this one look like a creepy villain’s face (maybe with devil’s horns?), complete with twirly moustaches?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 035, 036 037

Waaaah – I went away over the weekend to a writers’ conference, and although I remembered to take my scalpel and scissors and paper, I forgot to take my phone or camera, so couldn’t upload photos of the latest pieces in my current project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book).

So a little belatedly, here are cuts 35 and 36, plus 37:

I actually love this one! It’s very tricky to cut, but very satisfying.

 

This one’s OK. It’s a bit more unusual in the design:

 

…and I like this one, too:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 034

I can’t believe I’m over a third of the way through my current project (cutting a design a day for 100 days, from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book).

 

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 033

Day 33 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book. Wow – I’ve done more than a month’s worth of cuttings already!

I actually 100% like this one! It’s quite an elegant-looking Art Nouveau style design, and I can see myself incorporating this into papercuts in the future.

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 032

Day 32 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book. Wow – I’ve done more than a month’s worth of cuttings already!

A delicate little leaf piece:

Actually, even though the jagged bits sort of leap out at me (especially on that end curve bit), I still like this piece. Because I’ve realised that if I made it with the laser cutter then yeah, it would have been perfectly smooth, but it’s actually the little mistakes and jagged bits that show that a real live human being has created this piece:

 

 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 031

Day 31 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

This one – as with most of them – needs a bit of tidying up:

…especially when you see it up close:
