Description Here's the actual paper cut! I had to modify the design a bit to make it more sturdy as I cut, so you will see a few differences between the finished piece and the sketch that I had showed you.

Mr. D'Mellon was right to say that this would require lots of patience. He neglected to mention the ice pack and the Ben-Gay for your aching hand by the time you're done, though.

Luckily, I had an old scan of the original sitting on my hard drive that I was able to print, modify and use to make the cut. So, don't freak out - the original is nice and safe.

I have some close-up scans of the paper cut here: [link] [link] and [link]

Materials: Black cartridge paper, white cartridge paper, glue stick, stencil knife and a whole set of blades.


Damn, I miss having a subscription. I miss having the internet/phone service even more...who wants to help me firebomb C&W?

Wow, this is cut from paper?

I think ink would have been less taxing on my hands, but it was cut paper.

Man, it was painstaking and a bit nerve racking since the blade became dull very quickly. Plus, the fact that it was being graded was a good enough incentive to be patient.

Thanks for the comments and the love!

This work reminds me of a fantastic picture book, I think it was called, Cat & Fish, or something along those lines, it has illustrations using this style, it's really lovely.

Oooh... it's lovely! Excellent work. I think I know why he didn't mention the ice and Ben Gay to you: it might have discouraged you from something so very detailed.

It was a school project, so discouraging us would have been most detrimental to our grades.

Thanks for the compliment!
