Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 030

Day 30 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

For a change I quite like this one:

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 029

Day 29 of the continuing papercutting project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

Waaaah – I can see loads of jagged bits that just leap out at my eyes!

…but as usual, I think that one day I will get round to ‘pruning’ some of the lines that offend me, and then it might look quite nice 🙂

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 027

This is Day 27 of my papercutting project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

Close up there are quite a few imperfections, as usual, but they all look like they can be tidied up:

Day 24 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

This one was quite fiddly:

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 023

Day 23 – Nearly a quarter of the way through this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book – and still going strong!

Haha – note the good old trick of using wisps-of-hair-across-the-face in order to physically connect the eyes and other features to the rest of the papercutting:

I’m not sure if it was the original design or a wayward cut on my part, but the lady seems a bit ‘bog eyed’, with both eyes pointing in different directions? Not sure if I can fix that very easily. I might try later to cut another tiny bit out of the corner of her right eye (as we look at her) to see if that helps, but no – I think she’s doomed. 

 

Decorative Vector Ornaments: Paper cut 022

This is Day 22 of this project based on the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.

Not a bad effort!

 

The snake looks a bit lumpy close up, but I can change that later if I need to. And I’m not sure under what circumstances I would ever need a picture of a guy (Mercury/Hermes?) with caduceus and a winged helmet, but at least now I know that if I do have some sort of emergency requiring a papercutting of a Greco-Roman god then I’ve got one ready-made…
