I've always loved drawing wildlife and in fact after art college did a BSc in Biological Imaging which mixed science with film & illustration.
I'm finally creating illustrations, with a fun twist.
I plan a whole series of these papercuts, each based on a different species/ family. Due to several birthdays for family who like fish, my first designs are both sea-inspired.
So - to begin with, a Gurnard, a Marlin, and a Lionfish. All are intricately cut from glitter or plain cardstock.
You can order either a multi-layered cut with various colours and textures (can be changed to match your theme/ decor) on a background,
Or a single layer with just the topmost fish added to a handmade paper background so that shows through it.
Ths single layer simpler cuts can be made from patterned papers too. I'm seeing a chintzy range on plain backgrounds I think...
What species/ family next? Birds? Insects?
