A 1000-Day Adventure In Miniature Paper Cut Art: Our 30 Creations (New Pics)
“1000 days of Miniature Art” is a self-initiated creative challenge we started on 1st January 2018 for spreading awareness about wildlife. The project focused on creating awareness among our viewers about the importance and beauty of wildlife through art, and we created 1000 different artworks, one artwork per day.
The process for each artwork begins with a sketch, and after that, the fur/feathers of the species are cut from paper using a precision knife in different layers. After that, each layer is colored using watercolors in the exact shade of the species. Each artwork takes four to six hours to finish depending on the details of the species. The tiniest artworks measure only 1.8 cm from head to tail. Each paper artwork is photographed either perched on a twig, walking or sitting in sand, or suspended up in the sky to look like they’re flying. This style of photography gives the viewer a sense of life in the artwork and a context to the species created.
You can check out our other posts featuring miniature paper art here, here, here, here and here.

The main motive behind this series is to spread awareness about nature and wildlife through art. And make the world appreciate their contribution and importance to our ecosystem.
I, Vaishali, began my journey as a miniature model artist in January 2018 when I began the "1000 feathers" project, a 1000-day series of miniature artwork. We are both self-taught artists; my partner Nayan is a furniture designer and I am a VFX artist by education. You can check out my 1000 feathers project here.

The level of detail... again I just.. Wow........... Beyond incredible.. FAR beyond....
It takes between 6 - 8 hours to create one piece of artwork.
The most challenging part is to paint the perfect shade of the plumage of a bird on tiny paper cut pieces and I do not use any magnifying lens to paint or cut my artworks. We completely work with our naked eyes.
The most rewarding part is photography, when we get to make these tiny paper cuts come to life by photographing them in their natural habitat. We always try to find the location which complements the natural habitat of the species we are photographing.

Still these insects are a little bit scary.When one of my cats was a tiny kitten she used to jump all over my garden, beeing scared of these creatures.🤣

"Do a little dance. Make a little love. Get down tonight. Get down tonight!" The lyrics are now stuck in my head- because of this fine art! ≧◠‿◠≦
My passion is for nature and all of its beings, and the fact that they depend on our help encourages me to keep going.
The fundamental goal of my work is to increase public awareness of nature and its value, and that is what I hope viewers will take away from it.

Here is a fact of them : the male go look for other males of the same species to make a group of dance they train around like 3 or 2 whole days until they find the female and they start making a "dance party" for the female and if the female accept the male who made it the group dance will stay with the female .
