Paper cutting art in shadow box form, depicting the Queen's Garden from Hollow Knight

Zoomed out view of the shadow box, showing the lit up frame

Finished! Hollow Knight Queen's Garden shadow box ✨️

I had memories of really struggling with the first version of this box, but making it again, it felt easy and enjoyable. Could it be that I've improved 🤔

I think i overdid it with the small details... #art #paperart #cutout

No such thing as too many small details!! 💙

Seattle friends! I may not be able to make it to WA for this holiday season, but one of my little Stock’s Vampire Bat Skull originals is, as part of the Holiday Mini Art Exhibit at the every-lovely Ghost Gallery.

All cut paper layers of my Dualliste shadow box, showing the expedition squaring off against the dualliste in his arena

All layers done ✨️
The dualliste is a bit too wobbly with all layers spaced out (more than Lune, surprisingly), I'll need to glue his sword against something to keep him steady. Other than that, very pleased with this!

Paper cutting art in several layers, showing Expedition 33 facing off against the Dualliste, lit up from the back

Same layers without the light, laid flat on my cutting board

All layers are done! Now I've just got to space them out and make the frame 😁

*cough* I've, uh never done that, and definitely not with all the big bosses I ran into

Making some new space themed papercuts for a market soon 🌙

Really loving the color-coordinating mount! (And planning to paint the frames too)

Thank you so much 💙 I'm looking forward to this one, the massive dualliste should turn out pretty cool 😁

I could write a whole essay on who and what I included and why, I'm trying very hard to contain myself 😂

I just replayed through that part, and I couldn't get your comic out of my head the entire time 😂

a square piece of pale cream paper on a green background which has been charmingly hand-cut out to show dancing people, feathers, small mushrooms and smiling faces. Sadly some of the dancing men have 'chinese' hats on, which the artist must not have realized was racist. The style is turn of the 19-20th century.

Ok this is fully delightful - Hans Christian Anderson loved to entertain people while telling his stories by simultaneously hand-cutting decorative paper art

Thank you! I got into paper cutting about a year before covid, so there was a lot of room for improvement 😂

Here are several of my masks. I will look for the close ups and post those later.
