A Study in Paper #5: Sherlock & John: Redux

[ldhenson]

My 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.

Thank you! I also take commissions for some items if my schedule allows, so if you look under "Sold" on my Etsy, you'll see things that aren't currently listed. I've got some commissions lined up so I can't say for sure, but if you see something there or under the "my crafts" tag (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/tag/my%20crafts) that interests you, just ask.
