Paper Cut Project No. 1

I'm trying to channel my inner crafter, and turn my idle time into one of creative productivity. Our office operation has been suspended this morning due to the inclement weather here in Manila and since I was already wide awake, might as well get on with the project I have wanted to start with for so long: Paper Cutting!

With construction papers, X-acto, a metal ruler, and a cutting mat on hand, I put into production the concept I had while I was on my way home from work.



It also happened to be my BFF's birthday yesterday, so this was the design I had in mind with this first ever Paper Cut project. I obviously need to work on my cutting skills, but I think I have gotten the ropes of doing it, more or less.

Just when I think I have done something that I can be proud of, I see these amazing Paper Cut arts over at Pinterest!

With more practice, I'm pretty sure I'd get to come up with really amazing ones someday soon. Lao Tzu did say that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step :)
