Mega Charizard X Papercut Card
I made a poll in January asking what kinds of works you would like to see from me in the future. Despite all my hiatuses, I somehow managed to fulfill one of each option - and now, I'm finally making good on my promise to start paper cutting!
To start off, I picked something simple - a silhouette of my favorite Pokemon, Mega Charizard X. I jumped straight into this piece after around an hour of practice, and thankfully it wasn't a total disaster xD.
Overall, this was a fun and relaxing experience - I think I will have to make more paper cuts in the future
.
P.S. I have not forgotten about the fan-artisan craft request poll - I have the materials ready, but haven't started crafting as I am stuck in the early design phase. I recently got a gemstone for another character in the same series, so I hope to design them together. Stay tuned for them!

Mega Charizard X belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. This piece will not be sold or remade for commercial purposes. I used the following tutorial: [Paper Cutting 101] Paper, Scalpel, GO! The reference I used can be found here.
Time: 2.5 hours, 1 for the drawing and 1.5 for the paper-cutting.

BellaGBear recently created a wonderful project as part of the projecteducate Pitch A Project Contest. The goal of this project is to bring more colors and cheer into people's lives by sharing colorful art.
Here is her original journal, and I've copied the text below:
There are many people struggling with mental health so I wanted to start a community project fighting that. And for me, making artwork with a lot of colours always helps to make me feel better. Doing art in general is a good way to feel better, but there is some extra power in using bright colours. Or to say it in the words of a great painter well known for his colourful works:
For me, there has always been a strong link between making colourful artwork and mental health. The fact that I work with fabric and thread that has a nice feel in your hand, make a satisfying sound while you work it and that the action of sewing, quilting or embroidery works meditative is an extra bonus. I can imagine similar feelings exists for people working with paint, pastels or any other medium.
Colours always help. The brightness of them chases away gloomy and dark thoughts. This project is going to collect all those sunshine in your mind creating projects and to share them with the world. Let's all work together to spread a wave of feelings through DA
.
How does it work?
The shared artworks don't have to be made when you felt bad. Just spread the good vibrations.
This journal will be the mother that spawns many different threads of this project. In this way the colourfull goodness will take over DA like a benevolent virus
If this project picks up I will post a compilation every 1-2 weeks for everyone who doesn't want to miss a single piece. Tag me in the journals you post so I can find them.
Let's see if this project can bring a bit more joy into people's life. Especially for those who are currently suffering. Be well, and I hope things will soon improve
Meanwhile here is a song about the beneficial powers of sunshine

.How does it work?
- Copy the text of this journal into a new entry, don't worry about the skin*
- Add 1-4 of your own artworks at the bottom underneath the entry of the person who went before you
- If you want, you can share how art has helped you, but that is not required
- You can either use my original journal to add your works to or add them to one which has already works of other people as well.
- Post it and wait until more people start sharing the journals.
- Feel free to add your work to any sidestream you see! More = better when we are talking happiness :rainbow:
- Use the #ColoursinlifeArt hashtag here and on Instagram. I will try to make this work on Instagram as well soon.

There is something about working with fabrics and threads that just makes everything feel alright and puts my mind at rest. It is so satisfying to work with your hands and it always makes me feel like I've accomplished something good. Sometimes life feels too overwhelming for me and that everything goes wrong and life will only be an endless repetition of disappointments. When I look at the quilts or embroideries I make I don't think that anymore. If I can sew I will be fine.
craftsbyblue
To me, wire is one of my two avenues for creation, and it's a medium where physical constraints, like weight, size, and cost of materials are major considerations. I like to think of it as a medium where real-world constraints are applied to my visions, translating into reality something that's beautiful and wearable.
Each piece is an opportunity to try something new, to craft something that has never been crafted before. It's an opportunity to make people happy, to reflect on what I did correctly and how I could make the next piece even better, and it's a chance to reflect on my mental state and how that affected my design and implementation. For example, when I'm more relaxed, I find that my wirework flows well and looks more elegant, whereas when I'm stressed, I lose the ability to visualize the flow, and sometimes have to scrap the wires I used. The pieces that came from negative emotions don't make it onto DeviantArt - I want people to have positive feelings when they see and wear my works, so I am trying to channel positivity through my creations
