the bird
the mouse
cutwork butterflies and flowers
A family crafty morning :) The bird and mouse were made with modeling clay (got tons of the stuff) by daughter dear and darling son and a bit of help from mum :) The cut work is something I did last night and this morning - testing out some designs I created. I actually really like the doing cutwork designs and the actual thing, but it seems to have caused my finger to get a serious callus :( and that is only from doing it a couple of hours ( I discovered paper cutwork last week lol)The cut work is my entry to Sophia's Sunday Sketches. If you got a moment pop by there and check out the other fantastic artist who take part in SS.
Cheers

The cutwork is amazing! I don't think I would have the patience to do that type of work. Is it hard to keep the cuts so smooth?
Thanks Marlene:) Some of the cuts are not too smooth ( picture not a big blow up lol), but no it is not too hard to do, all you need is to make sure your blade is sharp and move the paper around as you.
Cute bird and mouse, they make me smile! The cut work is so pretty, way to go with that!
gosh that is impressive, your cutwork. And I love the little bird and mouse. Interesting contributions this week Jehanne.
your butterfly is lovely.
i wonder if you can hold the knife more gently and still do it, or if the knife is rough if you can but something soft around that part?
Really cute sculptures, and the cutwork is soooo amazing! It looks really hard to do!
I love it!

I can't imagine doing that detailed work!!! absolutely beautiful.
cheers, dana
Wow, you must have incredible patience to do that cut work. I've seen such pretty things done like this, but never tried. You did a great job.
amazing cut art.
hope your fingers heal up well.
I can see why you would get a callous! But worth it!
must have taken a lot time to cut out those patterns, very creative and looks quite difficult
Nice cutwork! and your mouse and bird are adorable!
Very cute figure in clay. Tell your children I think they are beautiful! Also love the cutouts!
Your cutwork is really amazing. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. I can't imagine trying to cut all of the small sections out. Great job!
Happy SS! :)
Wow... amazing detail on the cutwork. Fabulous!
What a fun mouse and bird... I am in love with the birds dangly legs and bright feathers!
Your cutwork is amazing! (I always get calluses and sore fingers when I cut stencils - I can only imagine the pain with such intricate details)!
