A Study in Paper No. 6 by ldhenson

Thanks very much, the moon and lamp are my favorite parts!

I pretty much taught myself paper-cutting. It's a lot of experimentation, especially when it comes to finding ways to make my designs 3D without glue. It's possible someone else has come up with similar techniques already but I like discovering them on my own.

Only twice have I started cutting a project and then abandoned it, and all the rest are in my gallery, so you can essentially see my entire learning progress by looking at my gallery.

I love this comment, thanks

Thank you! I'm self-taught and I try to come up with some new idea or technique every time I do one of these, so I'm glad you like.

Thanks very much! This was to my surprise one of my quickest free-standing cuttings to design/cut (I did it in one evening). A previous (unrelated) design had failed the day before so I had plenty of determination!

Thanks muchly!

Thanks very much! This was definitely one of my most fun pieces to design.

Thanks muchly!

Thanks very much! I didn't do a complete draft cutting so I just winged some of the folding. If I were to do it again I'd make a slight change that'd lock the frame even more securely, but it works pretty well even like this.

Thank you!

Thanks very much!

Thank you!

The moon turned out to be my one of my favorite parts, too. At certain angles it really catches the light.

Thank you for your sweet comments! If you do make some I'd love to see them.

Thank you very much! This was probably one of my favorite projects to work on.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks so much! I love ornate streetlamps and was happy to find a way to finally use one.

Thanks muchly!

Thank you! It's especially good to hear as I had a bit of frustration with a (different) failed cutting before I finally had the idea for this one.

Thanks very much!

Thank you! I love working with paper, it never fails to surprise me.
