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:
Today is Day 5 of my quest to adapt/cut all of the designs in the “922 Decorative Vector Ornaments” book (as mentioned here). Another busy day today, so another fairly quick and easy piece to cut:
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).

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:
