Emerald Tree Boa papercutting

This was an older pattern, so I added a lot of detail as I was cutting this.  Bright vibrant greens in the background painting really make him stand out- I was trying to duplicate the gorgeous colors of the snake who I photographed, and I think it came out pretty well.  This piece is available unframed online and framed at art shows, in person, or on request.

Dragonfly Papercutting finished

This was one of those pieces that I only rough-sketched to start, then made up a lot of the details as I was cutting.  I was happy with the original sketch, but I am absolutely thrilled with how the final cut looked!  It did help that I did it as a larger piece (11x14) for the first edition- I am able to play a lot more when I have that sort of space to work with.

New Jellyfish Papercutting

Just finished cutting and painting this one tonight.  This piece was a little different, since I already had a precise color scheme in mind when I drew the pattern in the first place.  The jelly tank at the aquarium where I took my model photographs had this bright vibrant blue color to it, and the jellyfish floating in it were yellows and golds against that blue- a gorgeous contrast.  I think I managed to duplicate pretty closely what I saw in my head for the painting behind this one.  I am so happy with how this piece turned out that I will probably be using it as one of my slides for show applications for next year.

 

'Jellyfish' is available unframed through Etsy, and will be displayed framed at art shows.

Afghan Hound papercutting

I had to steal the matting and backing paper from this one at one of my shows earlier this year to change the color scheme on another piece for a customer.  So I am FINALLY getting around to getting the Afghan re-matted!  While I had him apart, I figured I would put some more details into the cutting too, just for fun..  :)
