Mother's Day 2015

Mother and Daughter silhouette papercut

I made a paper-cut portrait for a friend and her daughter. I thought it was such a sweet photo I had to try it out in silhouette. I left it unframed so that it was easy to post to America.

I tried to be a bit more free and loose with my cutting style this time. But it doesn't work like that with paper cuts. You can see at the bottom I've been too relaxed and made wobbly thicks and thins. Bad form. The trick is making a design that looks relaxed and fluid, but cut it out in a very controlled manor so as to define the design perfectly.
