So... I have been inspired by many a thrilling artist out there (artists such as: Sarah Dennis and Claire Brewster) to try my hand at making some paper cuts.
Here is that attempt:
Very neat.
Except the words are backwards, because I didn't take the time to figure out how my computer works.
Anyway, I stuck with a very generic and unoriginal idea. A lot of paper cutters out there are really into fantasy/story book/animal sort of paper cutting. Well at least the artists I like. So, I kept with that style. I just sketched the whole thing by hand, (and I can't draw worth squat, that is why you can hardly make out a fox, its in the bottom corner, just a tail and a leg) I cut it out in about thirty mins, glued it to a piece of green paper and voila!
I am kinda proud of it. I hope to keep going with this, and see if I can improve.
On the other hand, I have been clearing a lot of things out of my room. And I stumbled upon a giant gum wrapper chain I made when I was a wee little thing. It held a lot of memories. But I dismantled most of it, and saved some of the pieces for this:
Gum wrapper chain clutch!
Disclaimer: It is actually made out of Now and Later wrappers...
It is only half finished, I want to find a zipper for it, and possibly sew up the sides and bottom.
But I am excited to use it.
I will most likely store my pencils in it, like a twelve-year-old.
Yay me.
Ok, thats all the exciting news for today!
Peace.
