Recently, I took on two commissioned paper cuts one of a horse and another of some pups. This particular commission has been a long time in the works (we first started chatting about this back in November I think) but I didn't get the official art work until April. Anyway, I started with the horse portrait because I assumed it would be harder, and while it was one of my trickiest ones to date, I LOVE how it turned out. Best of all? I made it from an Instagram photo -- that's right folks, you can send me your hipster-y, artsy photos and I can make you a beautiful paper cut from it!

| What a handsome pony! Apparently, he is a well-behaved stallion that gets blue ribbons everywhere he goes. I just love his owners gaze at him! |

| It's almost finished. I say almost because there are little tweaks I will make (mostly highlights) and it will be mounted and matted for delivery. I'll photograph is again before shipping. |
What do you guys think?
I have another commission underway, but I''d love to do more. I'll even barter for them (don't be shy).
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! Love it.
ReplyDeleteLet me think of an interesting and barterable talent I have, and then I'm all over it. ;) I think I'll just straight order one eventually, but I need to quit paying vet bills first.
ReplyDeleteLOVE. I continue to always say this but I need to have one of these. I always go looking for photos that would work well and feel like I can never find one. Maybe I just need you to pick one out from the blog :)
ReplyDeleteDreamy! These are the coolest things ever.
ReplyDeleteIt came out even better then I thought it would!!!! Can't wait to see it in person - you're a genius!
ReplyDelete=) Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am so thankful for mine!!! You do such gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteLooks AWESOME!! Do you still want to do a barter with me? I know I asked you right before you got married, so you were super busy!
ReplyDeleteYou always do such a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I dreamt about papercuts last night. So random, but maybe it's telling me to pull the trigger and commission you to make me one :-)
very cool!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous paper-cut of a stunning horse! No wonder the owner/rider has that look on their face - I'd be drooling all over him - look at that kind eye! *swoon*
ReplyDeleteIf I can save up some cash & get a nice photo of my girls, I'll have to see if we can discuss a commission, :p
