This is the seventh day of my quest to adapt/cut all the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here).
It’s very similar to this cut (below) from a post a few days ago…
…but they’re not identical:
Day 6 in my adventure adapting/cutting all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here).
This was a fairly big and detailed design so it took a few days to finish. Even though the lower lines have gone wiggly because the paper got a bit stretched, I still quite like it:
Day 4 of my quest to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here).
This is Day 3 of my mission to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post).
This one had quite a few floating dots in the original design that I had to leave out of the papercutting, and other parts of the design needed to be joined together with little lines (otherwise they would have just fallen on the floor because they weren’t attached to anything). Also I needed to enlarge the designs a bit, because otherwise I don’t think it would have been possible for me to get all of the details.
I like the overall effect of this one, but I did mess up a few times. See if you can spot where!
I am now on Day 2 of my mission to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post).
I actually quite like this one, for a change!
Seeing as I’ve decided to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned in this post), I decided I might as well do at least a hundred of them. So let’s say that today is the first one:
…which is a shame, really, because
Never mind – the whole point of this papercutting quest is that I learn and get better as I go along. I might try this one again one day, to see how the ‘before and after’ versions compare…
Another Art Nouveau Style Papercutting
Continuing my recent papercutting project, this is my latest hand-cut piece, based on one of the designs from the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book.
Following on from this post and this post, I’m still working my way through the designs in the Dover Books publication “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments”
This is my latest batch:
…with some close-ups:
…and my favourite today:
Having started hand-cutting paper designs again the other day (mentioned in this post), I’ve been making a few more since then. A few of them have been Art Nouveau-ish:
This one looks a bit more Art Deco, I suppose…
But the rest are more Art Nouveau-y:
…and one of my favourites so far:
I am really into Pinterest at the moment. It’s a great way to discover what laser-y designs and techniques are trending at the moment, and you can also save images to your own ‘boards’ to use as research for later.
I’ve set up a special board in Pinterest for “Laser Inspiration“, and I’m trying to gather as many laser-related arts and crafts as possible, to make it a great big resource for when I’m looking for inspiration:
Feel free to have a look yourself! There is another link to the board here.
