Work on a new commission

Starting work on a commission- sketch for a papercutting of a gorgeously regal black kitty (who looks like he may have a goofy side too). Solid black animals can be a bit of a challenge, but I am happy with the way the drawing is shaping up so far. #commission #petportrait #paper #paperart #papercut #papercutart #papercraft #paperwork #cutpaperart #cutbyhand #scherenschcnitte #wip #workinprogress #sketching #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #artistsofcleveland #northridgevilleohio

Rework on Spiral

More enhancement to older work. I still think my Spiral piece is beautiful and complex lines, but the way I had it mounted and matted was a little stark. I am trying to do a similar layered feel to what I did with my just finished Big Guitar piece – will see how it works out. #paper #paperart #papercut #paperwork #papercraft #papercutart #papercutting #papercutartist #cutpaper #cutbyhand #cutpaperart #scherenschnitte #handcut #handmade #workinprogress #originalartwork #excelblades #papercutsstudioart #papercutsstudio #artistsofcleveland #northridgevilleohio

Big Guitar

Finished, glamor shot w frame and watermark.  I ended up using foam core to put some depth into the matting, and then I felt I needed some depth to the piece itself so I built a tiny offset under it so the cut stack appears to float a tiny bit off from its background painting.  It isn't often that a piece ends up better than I originally envisioned – I am very happy with the finished form of this! #paper #paperart #papercut #painting #paperwork #papercraft #papercutart #watercolor #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #cutpaper #cutbyhand #cutpaperart #scherenschnitte #handcut #handmade #originalartwork #bigguitar #musicart #musicalart #papercutsstudioart #papercutsstudio #artistsofcleveland #northridgevilleohio
