All About Paper Cutting

New Version.

Here is a new version of this piece. The stage is the same but the characters on it are totally different. Sometimes you need to do things over and over until it works. I'm waiting for my editor's opinion to see what's the next step.

Before and After.

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 :)
