Love Spreads

View this post on Instagram

I have shared a lot of pieces that I thought turned out much better completed than they were in my head, so I figured it’s only fair to share one that went the opposite way. I had a concept and a sketch for a piece that I wanted to call ‘Love Spreads’ or something along those lines- a heart with the point touching a pool of water and putting out ripples. Once I cut it though, it just feels too simplistic to me and I am not sure the water gives the impression that I intended. Maybe it needs more layers? Hmmm. Will have to tuck it away and come back to it later I think. #backtothedrawingboard #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #originalartwork #cutpaper #handmade #handcut #excelblades #artistsofcleveland #artgirlsofig #beckycrane #papercutting #scherenschnitte #paperart #papercraft #originalartwork

Balance

Starting a new piece. This will either be called ‘Finding Balance’ or ‘Losing Balance’ depending on my mood when I am finished. 😂 #wip #workinprogress #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #originalartwork #cutpaper #handmade #handcut #excelblades #startingover #artistsofcleveland #artgirlsofig #beckycrane #papercutting #scherenschnitte #paperart #papercraft #originalartwork

Mostly done

This afternoon was perfect for #woodcarving on the patio- 80°! Got some solid work done on this guy- a lot bigger than the other pieces I’ve been working on lately. He is over 2 ft long, so he will be a substantial piece when he is done. #cottonwoodbark #woodspirit #woodcarving #woodcarver #handcarved #handtools #flexcut #beckycrane #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #artistsofcleveland #woodcarversofig #carvedwood #greenman #woodcrafter #workinprogress #wip #mystudioistheoutdoors
