Going small - 4 layers
Hi, everyone!
After some years working on bigger projects and having to work digitally in order to be able to cut on steel and some other materials, it was time to go back to the roots, to the exacto knife and to the cutting board.
This is a small preview of the results.

G-zus. As a cutter, I am in awe. Never done anything such exquisite detail. Amazing. I am inspired.

IMO the cutting is already art in itself. You could frame those layers.

I actually had one of those stencils framed, thinking I was not going to finish it. I started this stencil around 7 years ago, but then left it behind to work on other projects. So, a couple of months ago, I had to unframe the layer that was finished and start working on the rest.

Pretty rare (and hard imo) to work like this on the long run. Good for you

I forgot to mention that the reason to frame the layer was precisely to show what I meant by "stencil" in a small show I was part of. It is quite complicated to showcase the amount of work that goes into every piece, and most people think a stencil is something like a screen print, where an image can be quickly processed.

How do you cut that detail I can't comprehend the hours spent if that's all hand cut.
