Done with piece 1

First piece cut and shaped.  Thinking I may make this a composite piece with 3 of these. #workinprogress #paper #paperart #papercut #paperwork #papercraft #papersculpture #scherenschnitte #papercutart #originalartwork #handmade #cutbyhand #xactoknife #artistsofcleveland #northridgevilleohio #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart

Second column

Finally starting to feel better enough that I was able to get a little bit of work done over the last day or two. #workinprogress #paper #paperart #paperwork #papercut #papercutart #paperart #papercraft #scherenschnitte #cutbyhand #handcut #handmade #originalartwork #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #northridgevilleohio #artistsofcleveland #xactoknife

New piece prototype

Sketching the layout for the base cutting for my new 16x20 sculpture.  This will be similar in structure to Carnivale, but with two layers of cutting, the sculpture pieces going horizontal, and a more subdued ocean-themed color scheme. This piece will be cut out of white watercolor paper, the white pieces in the sketch will be fill-cut with wave-shapes similar to my koi fish piece, and the bright yellow will be spaces where the watercolor painting behind shows through.  The painting will NOT be bright yellow however. 😂 #paperprototyping #intheartiststudio #studiowork #originalartwork #workinprogress #papercutting #papersculpture #xactoknife #northridgevilleohio #artistsofcleveland #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart
