papercuts

I'm a big fan of elsa mora and her amazing papercuts as well as Patricia Zapata, AKA a little hut.

today i decided to try... first problem -- what to cut. second problem -- it's hard! :) these are about two inches tall. i think you can tell the one of the left is my frist attempt; the one on the right is the second

how elsita gets those smooth edges is beyond me. i will keep trying.
