Flowers and peacocks!!!
Its an addiction. Paper cutting has been the most satisfying thing I have done in a long time. Creating a design suitable for the art is amazing fun in itself. Its thrilling to have completed a design as the excitement to start cutting takes over your heart.

Creating greeting cards has always been my thing. Cards convey emotions much better than words sometimes. When words are put on paper they exist for ever...and a gift that exists for ever can never lose its beauty.
Peacocks and flowers are by far the most adorable design motifs. I am drawn towards the frilly freedom that an artist gets while drawing a flower and peacocks are just so cute :) !! These motifs have no boundary or any set rule as to how they should be drawn.
The challenge with creating a design for paper art is judging the thickness of the lines. Too thin and there is a risk of cutting through the entire design.. too thick and the over all look just wont do.
Floral and oriental designs on my mind
For now as I have not experimented a lot with coloured paper... white has to be my paper love colour. Its 120 gsm white card stock that I am currently working with but I plan to go up a notch to experience a new feel and texture.
These are the final cards after mounting the paper cut. For the touch and feel of the paper cut and maintain its identity I applied glue only to the border not letting the actual artwork stick to the coloured card.
Stay tuned for more designs and cuts :)
