CANVAS CUT - AN EXPERIMENT

 Its been a long time since I have uploaded my paper-cuts. Have been busy coming up with loads of designs for future paper-cut projects. Meanwhile I bought a canvas for an experiment. Thought cutting a canvas would be fun !!!! WELL........ I am not entirely sure if my thumb and wrist thought it was fun. Still not a failed choice of material I would say. Atleast I get to hang it :) .

For starters I knew since canvas is a fabric material I would have to put in more effort and strength to cut through and that's what exactly happened. I already had a design that fit the canvas size and didn't create a new one since it was a material experiment and my excitement to get on with it wasn't pre -planned . 



Cutting the canvas was difficult as I did not have any plane surface to support my wrist. The edges being extruded at the back of the canvas  made cutting it my wrist's worst nightmare. Choosing a very intricate design for a not-so-fine material resulted in the canvas loosing its strength to hold straight. Few modifications in the design ...few more lines connecting the peacock with the rest of the design would solve the problem.

Nevertheless the final outcome is worth hanging on my wall :)
