I’ll be working on a large papercut for a while so I decided to post two small things.
The one on the left is a study for the large piece I’ll be working on. The finished character will have different hands, ears and skirt.
The piece on the right is something I made really quickly as a gift for a baby shower. I was trying to use the darker green to simulate thick glass and water. I’m not sure the thick glass element works, but oh well.

I had the idea to use two panes of glass to separate individual papercuts a long time ago, but I never got around to designing one.
This weekend I met with a group of artists who I’m going to be working with and the discussion we had inspired me to finally do it instead of continually saying, “next time”.
I know adding a pane of glass isn’t a unique idea or a giant leap, but it is something I’ve wanted to do.
I really like the depth that the heavy shadow under the main cutout creates.
I’d like to experiment with a third pane of glass, but unfortunately, unless I’m making very small cutouts, the amount of glass necessary makes them very heavy.
I look forward to making another one of these.
Now if only I could find some place that makes 4″ diameter custom embossers, I could try another idea…
I’m having some web issues.
Sorry if navigating here is troubling over this past week.
I’m working with my webhost on it.
I may have to take it down for a short period.
More later…
