I have to admit, a few times while cutting this leaf, I stopped myself and thought why do I have to do this and then a different voice in my head would say, keep going, it will look nice at the end. Oh well, after two hours of cutting, I was quiet pleased with the result. The only thing is only if I would have drawn a much better leaf to start with..hah...may be next time
For this, I used an x-acto knife to cut a picture drawn on a white printing paper. Here are some of the pictures of how I started and in the process.
Almost there. Just a few more cuts left.
And finally done!!!! Yay!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Heather.
DeleteHahaha..it was a little bit more work than I had expected.
When I started I didn't realize I will spend that much of work. But you are right, the result was worth it...:)

ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment Katerina!
DeleteBeautiful! How do you do the actual cutting without bending the paper, a stanley knife?
ReplyDeleteI placed the paper on a cutting surface and used the x-acto knife to cut it. I cut along the lines I drew on paper.
DeleteFabulous - thank you Priyam :-)
DeleteWow! This is probably my favorite paper cutting you have done. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.

DeleteWove!!! This is awesome, Love it
ReplyDeleteThank you Bharati..:)
DeleteThese look so pretty but I am afraid I wouldn't have enough patience. Yours look like the real thing. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim..I am not the patient one either, but i don't know what gave me the drive...maybe just wanted to see how the end result will look and that made me finish it..:)
DeleteWOW! That looks so pretty. Did it take a long time to do? I would love to make something like that and frame it. :)
ReplyDeleteNot too long, once you get the hang of it..using xacto knife was just like using a pencil to draw, but instead just cut it...:)
DeleteWOW! beautiful! Looks like it took a lot of time. I would treat it very carefully and treasure this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chloe!
DeleteI don't think you have little patience. This looks like a very time consuming project. And it's so cool...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Emese
