JAI SREE KRISHNA  

OLA # hello in Portuguese # paper lovers... Its 10:30 pm here in Brazil and 7:00 am in India right now. As my sleep has run off to Russia I guess here I am writing this post. This blog isn't suppose to be personal but still all my work is personal.....especially this paper cut of LORD KRISHNA. Though I haven't been into pooja paath, rituals or idol worship and have been away from temple worships for all these years, I have felt a spiritual connect to Krishna since childhood...not with the mythological stories but with the essence and power of his character.

I wanted to have a floating glass frame with a paper cutout of Krishna playing the flute... well the floating glass could not happen but the paper cut did... and not one but 2 designs :)  .

  

As I have mentioned before the design is drawn on the reverse side to get the perfect and clean final paper cut.

I left the face to be cut at the last as this was the most delicate part of the design.

 The 1st final paper cut in a frame.

This 1st design has more visual space to it. In the next one however I tried to do more intricate work.  

This design again has the same image of Krishna ( which I took from a calender poster) but has more elaborate and intricate design. I personally like the 1st one but beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

The second final paper cut.
