Day 17 of my project based on the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
I enjoyed this one! I don’t even think I made any big mistakes 🙂
Day 16 from my papercutting project from of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
There wasn’t an easy way to connect the nose/lips to the rest of the paper, so I had to go for the old “add some extra tendrils of hair across the face” technique. Not sure it’s worked very well, but that’s what this papercutting quest is about, really: practising trying to adapt images so that they can be cut out without looking too contrived or clumsy. I might have another go later.
Day 15 from my papercutting project from of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
Here is Day 14 from my ‘mining’ of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
Day 13 of my continued project, cutting designs from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
Day 12 and I’m still working from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
Another day, another design from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here.)
Just a little one, today:
Woohoo – I’m into double figures for my ongoing mission of adapting/cutting designs from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post.)
This one definitely needed a new blade, so I treated myself to a shiny replacement blade. Because of that the cutting went quite well, and I don’t think I accidentally cut or ripped any of it:
Slightly closer version:
This is Day 9 of my mission adapting/cutting designs from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post.)
This one took nearly an hour to cut. I was using a fairly blunt scalpel blade, so I really should have changed it, but (1) I couldn’t be bothered, and (2) it feels a bit wasteful to change a blade every time I cut a new design.
When I start tearing and stretching the paper I know that it’s really time to change the blade. So I guess the next piece will be cut with a new blade. (See if you can spot where I accidentally ripped this one):
Day 8 of my mission to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post.)
This one only took about twenty minutes to cut (while watching a recorded episode of Antiques Roadshow):
