Paper Cutting

As a group we are interested in how most miniature work requires a lot of skill and time to produce and therefore we wanted to use techniques ourselves that require this. We thought about embroidery, drawing and paper cutting, each requiring a lot of time and skill to produce a detailed, miniature sample.

I've started looking into paper cutting and I came across these pieces which I think are really fun and quirky; creating tiny paper-cut scenes using light to enhance their silhouettes. They have a nice sense of depth about them too!








Further research into paper cutting brought up some of these pieces:











Although these aren't all miniature, it's the level of skill involved and the time taken that intrigues us and links them to the miniature theme.
