WIP Wednesday - Papercut Leaf Necklaces

Hello!

This week I've been working on an idea that I've been wanting to try for a while...papercut leaf necklaces! I have had these leaf designs for a while and have wanted to adapt them for this purpose for a long time - it's just been one of those things that I have put to the bottom of the to do list. Well, on Monday I decided it was time to get them made!

They are now available in the shop here at an affordable introductory price and if you don't want to use them as a necklace you could always make a mobile with them!

I would love to see what you've been working on this week, so why not a leave a comment below with a link we can all visit!

WIP Wednesday

For todays WIP Wednesday post I've been working on creating a papercut design to be lasercut at Duke Studios - who I will post more about early next week. This will be the first of my designs that I will try out on a laser cutting machine, so I hope it works out and that I've done it right!

This design is made up of several leaves in a circular shape, with extra dots and spots added in between the leaves. As this is the first time I have created something for a lasercutter I don't know if this is too detailed or if little bits will get cut off, but I will let you know how it works out....now, it's time to finish it off and I will upload photos of it as soon as it's been cut out.

Hello - I hope you're having a nice weekend!

Me and Toby were ill all day yesterday and so I didn't go into work at Muji...but that gave me a chance to have some time to draw. These are just a few quick sketches of leaves - that I had drawn in my second year of university - and I have been editing them to turn them into papercut templates.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
