I Handcut Paper Animals And Use The Sky To Bring Them To Life
38Kviews
My name is Jo Chorny also known as peaceofpaper1, and I create art by cutting paper with a scalpel.
My favourite way of photographing my papercuts is to hold them against the sky; I love the dramatic effect this gives, and the variation of colours and textures in the sky as a backdrop. Plus this way you can see my intricate cutting more clearly.
I also like the shadows that my pieces cast. I normally set them in a box frame, so the shadow appears on the back giving the papercut a great 3-D effect.

Thank you Nell! <3
What an amazing talent you have, you truly are gifted! Beautiful pieces.
Love the art you did
Thank you so much Nathalie <3
Amazing!!!
Aw thank you! <3
wow
love these!!
Thank you Kristin! <3
These photos would do amazing as album art for all kinds of music! Keep on the good work! A little piece of advice: try to lose the hand (I have no idea how though), because, in my opinion, it only adds to the composition of the photo in the picture with the deer leaf. On the other hand, this way you show that it is not some layer on photoshop. But nicely done!
Thank you Sander <3
