Paper cutting!

Well, just quite recently, like the end of last year, i’ve started on a new hobby! =D Which is paper cutting! =D (i feel so un-enthusiastic, lol!) Haha~ Nvm that but yea, paper cutting! Wee~ XD

And so happen my friend’s birthday was coming up! AND I WAS LIKE CLUELESS! Didn’t know about it until i was scrolling through the ‘Events’ page on facebook when i SAW that one of my very good friends birthday WAS A WEEK AWAY! gasp~ And fyi it takes approximately 2 weeks for snail mail to reach Malaysia. So! Onto work i did.

First, inspiration. Neeeed inspiration. Serious concentration glare… done that for quite some time… doodled here and there… no inspiration… doodled some more… too complicated stuff… and then here came the inspiration, and guess where i got it from –> Google. XD Haha~ Saw how paper cutting words were just as awesome as any other complicated paper cutting stuffz. And here’s the result!

So that’s just the so called ‘stencil’ which i’m gonna use to cut out. Now! Onto the cutting part! =D It’s not really that hard really. Just have a reasonably steady hand and lotsa patience. (even i don’t really have a steady hand =P) So cut, cut, cut. And voila! Here comes the product! With bits and pieces of cut out material that looks like jigsaw! XD

I forgot to mention what i was making. =P It’s gonna be a bookmark! Just you wait and see! ;P Right now the cutting part’s about done. Did a lil ‘adjustments’ to the cutting. You know there’ll be some rough edges and ‘deformations’ and stuffz. So yea, tweaked a lil here, tweaked a lil there, cut this, glued that, write a personalised message and tadaaa, final product! =D

=D =D =D Yay! The finished product is just AWESOME! Better than i could imagined. =) Now all’s left is to put it in an envelope and mail it Malaysia! =D Which i did this afternoon. =) Costs A$1.65 to do so but it’s totally worth it. Haha~ However i forgot to take into account what would happen if the letter reaches too early… oh wells~ Meant to be a surprise anyway. =) Handicraft made in Aussie! =D Mailing it from overseas is the fun part. =)
