Paper-cutting Frenzy, Project #7.
(Something tells me I have to stop labelling them with numbers... I'm losing count here...)

This one shares the same original artist as the last onslaught of these projects: Yuichiro Fukaya. This one was a blast from the past as the design was originall created for a single for the visual Kei band Kagrra,. This single eventually bore another album art, and this design had gone under the surfaced, hardly ever seen anymore.

I know you're tired of me saying that every piece is an experiment when they all look rather similar. But please take my word for it that there are some innovations present in every new case.

Artistic note:
The pattern is adapted from the ever-wonderful Yuichiro Fukaya (of the Visual Kei band Kagrra,'s fame). Official HP: [link]

Technical Details:
Equipment: Cutting board, Artisan cutting blade (#11)
Paper: Heinz Jordan #1 Layout paper (#41, Blue)
Took: about 6hours
Size: See ruler

Technical Note:
The HJ #1 layout paper is thin and durable, which makes it a good candidate for smaller, more intricate work. However, it is also composed of a coloured top layer and a white "underlayer", connected with relatively loose fibres. Extraction of excised pieces require caution.

This piece also tested the integrity of the paper that I print the patterns on. Usually, the all-purpose matte printer paper is relatively strong and durable. However, this project demonstrated that when the details get smaller... even the matte printer paper will start curling up and distort.
