Slow Progress

The first layer to my carved book, the trees, is complete! It took a little longer than I expected, I was only able to cut through two or three pages at once without the paper tearing. I'm trying to go slow and not cut my fingers. The next layer is much smaller and detailed, I think the best way to approach it will to go one page at a time. Here's the progress so far...

  1. people never believe me when i say it takes longer than they think it does...

    in any case, its looking good... make sure that you change your x-acto blades regularly (you are using x-actos, right? and not an olfa knife or something unwieldy...?)

    also, i'm not sure i understand the relationship of this to the images of silhouettes in the previous post...

    but, i think that this will be good... (plus, you get the studio to yourself...?)
