These are really lovely! I bought some papercutting equipment the other month but haven't been able to use it yet (lack of time - too busy!) but I hope to experiment with it while I'm in Paris. Any tips you have would be gratefully received! ;)
Thanks Natasha. I'm by no means an expert, just playing about at the moment really, I don't even draw out the images first! I guess the best advice I can give is to use a very sharp knife and to use a solid paper- not one with loose fibres as they tend to disintegrate when you try and cut the smaller details. Looking forward to seeing what you do :)
