A Study in Paper #6: On the Town

[ldhenson]

Some of you who've followed my earlier crafting will know that this was probably inevitable.

I have no resistance against shadow boxes.

Sherlock and John out for a quiet stroll on a crisp snowy evening.









Where to tonight, Sherlock? The Gherkin?



...Tower Bridge?



Why don't you decide, John. After all I am lost without my...oh, you know. Lead on.



Rising crane shot, swell of lush music, fade to black.


Made from cardstock, cut as a single piece and then folded, no adhesives. It measures 9cm x 15cm x 6cm, give or take a few mm.

That's absolutely gorgeous!

This is gorgeous. I love the details - the little stars, the turrets (spires? I'm not good at names of architecture), the streetlight, it's all just amazing. And John and Sherlock are totally recognizable. The whole piece is absolutely lovely! :)

You are just getting more and more inventive with each new thing you make! I love when that happens, you really seem to have a natural mind for this kind of negative space. I would love to see your stuff in a proper shadow box, with a light display and everything. Or heck maybe as just a lampshade, I've seen some really nice papercut lampshades on Etsy but yours would take the cake.

This is great, I love the moon on top, and particularly the lantern.

Thanks very much!

I have run out of compliments for you, so I shall just add;

♥♥♥♥!!!

Thank you! I think those are spires since they're pointed (disclaimer: not an expert here either and will be gladly corrected). The stars and snowflakes were fun to do--I don't have a hole punch so those were done with a screwdriver and round-nosed pliers.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it turned out just as I'd hoped!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Oh, gosh, that's brilliant.
