ldhensonMy original version of this nested silhouette was done with thinner paper. I've now gone back and re-cut it in cardstock.

I cut John's hand a bit differently this time, toning down the sharp contrast and adding a slight curve. I think it gives a more cohesive look to the piece. The whole thing's the same size as the original, approx. 7" x 5" (not counting base).
I'm happy with the sturdier cardstock; while it still needs to be displayed with something solid behind it (like a bookshelf or wall) for support, that's all it needs to stand upright, a nice improvement over the original (which needed some careful, if discreet, propping).
I'm offering a few of these (cut to order) at my Etsy.

Date: 2011-01-24 02:31 am (UTC)I made a fish going after a worm and a duck in a sailboat for my dad. And a vase of flowers and dove in flight for my mom. Simple drawings that popped up when the card was opened.
The most elaborate card I have made was a pop-up stage for my sister when her operetta had a premiere.
Lately I have been making cut paper window decorations for my apartment building. And origami figures (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=262781&id=636908143) to decorate a scrapbook for my nephew.
I'm into all sorts of crafts but I'm not really expert at any of them. I just do them for my friends and family. Your work is really professional quality.
