For today, I did another papercut, this time of the letter “A” with some lovely flourishes. Design courtesy of another wonderful Dover book, this one of illustrated Art Nouveau letters. I’ve decided that I want to do a framed grouping of papercuts, and I needed a theme, so I think that I will do the entire alphabet. So, expect more letters (hopefully some more elaborate ones) later this month. The backing for this letter is temporary, because I only have a very limited supply of this color, but I do like the contrast of light on dark. I’m planning on using a bunch of random frames that I have left over, which I plan to use for this project, but they’re all different, so I’d like to keep the color palette of the letters the same. This letter also turned out a little larger relative to the frame than I intended, so I may switch it to a different frame (but I have plenty of those). Anyway, lemme know what ya’ll think!

Oh, and what happened to my Day 7 thing, you ask? Well, I didn’t make anything yesterday, but I did do something that I think counts….I got my hairs cut

(first haircut in over a year, I lost about 6-7 inches!)
