Awhile back, I posted some images of my sketch book in which I was using small shapes to create larger organic ones. I had it in mind to translate them into paper cuts and to try to do them pretty large. This is my first (work in progress) attempt at it which I actually started many months ago. It's really time consuming and, because I am doing them without more than a vague idea of a final shape, it's both fun and challenging. There are some things I wish I had done differently here but I'm looking at it (like I do all artwork) as a learning experience.
I am definitely having to rely on the drugstore granny glasses to do these. Apparently, I am in need of bifocals (BIFOCALS!) which I have yet to pull the trigger on. I. just. can't. yet.
This paper cut is about 18" x 27". Here is a detail:
