I'm thinkinig about doing some more cut paper things this summer because I love cut paper. So here's another cut paper assignment that I did last year. It's a King, Queen and Jack based on 17th century Dutch fashion.
I drew out one half of each card. I scanned in the refined drawings and mirrored the image and put the two card sides together. I then resolved the mid ground of the cards so they would flow into each other nicely. After all that was done I photo copied the final drawings six or seven time and then cut the paper from the templates. Then, ofcourse, added glue.
That looks so cool! it looks like it took a tone of effort and the result is awesome :-D! I realy like how clean everything looks. I also love how the queen looks, very swirly and girly and pretty. beautiful!
You should do much, much more cut paper work. The lady in the middle is fantastic-- the design is very fluid and graceful. You've really captured a culture, here. Kudos.
