A Study in Paper #7: Холмс и Ватсон
So aeroferret continued to feed my crafting addiction by giving me a shiny new craft knife ♥ Well, of course I had to put it to good use.
A paper-cutting for the Russian Sherlock Holmes series.
Thumbnail:
Despite being a fairly straightforward design, this one took an entire week to finish (by contrast, I did #6 in a single evening). The tricky bit wasn't the actual cutting process--which, granted, still took a long time--but rather the planning, pulling all the elements together while still keeping the central portrait of Holmes and Watson clean and simple. Sometimes things just take a while to coalesce.
But I'm very happy with the final result.
Plus it's a nice complement to my Russian!SH pendant :-)
And one more pic, in different lighting:
Cut from cardstock. A little over 6.5" x 10.25", before folding.
