This is my first attempt at papercut! I’m very pleased. It fits in with my love of all things bird-of-prey and I had a great time doing it. All you need is a cutting mat, a good scalpel and some paper. I just used normal paper for this one as it was my first go. But, unfortunately, the paper I chose marked very easily (you can see the oil from my hands has left marks)! Normal paper also tears when you try to cut very thin sections. So, for the next one I’m going to use some thicker art paper. Have you tried papercut art before? I’d love to hear how it went.

To see some really talented artist’s work, have a look at weburbanist.com. The pics on the site are really AMAZING! I’ll have to keep practicing.
