Chicken Skeleton
Not much to say about this one, other than that I really really like how it came out.
The two-tone works really well here. Also, the grey plays two different roles in this papercut - both as a second tone for the skull and neck, and as a separate part of the skeleton (further away) in the ribs and legs.
Snake Skeleton
Continuing with last week’s theme (animal skeletons) I’ve cut a snake skeleton this week. It was a rattlesnake … posing curled up, ready to strike. Scary.
New! Post a comment.»
Turtle skeleton
While looking through my papercuts from last year, i was particularly struck by the skeletons. i do think that i want to do more papercuts of human skeletons, but for the time being I decided to do a few of animals (this is the first and there’s another on the burner (ouch, that’s kind of the wrong analogy for a papercut!))
Eliav Zecharia
I designed and completed this papercut over a year ago but am only now posting it. It was a baby present for Eliav. His Hebrew name is Eliav Zechariah, which is at the top of the papercut. His name in Amharic is Tariku, which is at the bottom of the papercut. The text next to the tree is cut out from the dark blue background, revealing a second, light blue background beneath and is the traditional blessing parents say over their children, aka the priestly blessing.
