Even though I really like this design, I’m not sure I can think of an occasion when I might use it in future. However, I’m glad that this series of papercutting projects has caused me to cut it.
It took over two hours to cut, and I was listening to the audiobook version of Lucy Hounsom’s Starborn book at the time.
