Before.
After.
This is one of my numerous projects this year. There will be 4 pieces in total. In the "after" version you can see how I decided to play a little bit by adding some painted elements to the paper. The original idea was to paint the face of the bird/girl only. But then she "asked" me to please paint some more around her so I did it. Notice how she decided to slightly smile in the second version. It was her way to say: Thanks :)

Yowza. Gorgeous!

You're right, she does look happier in the second image. In the first she looks a little shy and melancholic. Clearly a bit of colour was just the thing. Beautiful and intricate work as always.

good choice, her smile is very good...it add a little bit of mistery..but is this a paint with a frame?

Hooray for color, color and detail, detail! Your little bird becomes beautifuler and beautifuler to my human eye! But even if I couldn't see her, I would be able to feel your shared spirits in the papercut design.

Siii, mucho mas bonita la segunda. La chica pajaro sabe mucho. Los personajes se nos imponen y deciden. A mi me pasa siempre :)
