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:

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:

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 🙂

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.
