paper cuts

I'm hoping to do more work involving paper cuts this year. I made this one a while ago and while I like the 3D effect of it I think I might try working with flatter pieces. The one pictured above is quite small and is something I was playing with the other day. Dragonflies really lend themselves to paper cuts because of all the fragile pieces and those delicate wings. There are some gorgeous paper cut groups on flickr worth checking out if you're a devotee of this art form. Look at this wonderful garden paper cut by Vegas Lammy (Suzy Taylor) for starters:

  2. I just love papercuts, they're very addictive. Jan over at snippetygibbet does some great stuff. I'll keep tuned to see what lovely snips you make.
