fleurrochard. She traded me a wonderful song and I wanted to make something a bit different for her... And then this idea took over my brain and I've been working on it for weeks.fleurrochard said she wanted "something about Rodney and music"... so I present to you: Rodney's Life: 
Medium: Cut paper (inspired by Robert Ryan and my 6th grade art teacher who we used to do stuff like this with)
The text reads:
"When I was young, I fell in love with music,
but then I was told that music did not love me back,
so I looked for something prettier than music, and found the stars,
and in their orbits and colors and equations, I found music again."
This was a difficult project, but I love the result, the papercuts look awesome on many different backgrounds, but I finally decided to scan them over the stripped paper... I might experiment with them some more later.
Also, I'm sorry for the yellow stripe on the left.,.. my scanner is broken and just puts it there...

Date: 2008-03-20 05:32 am (UTC)Each sheet is Din A4 sized (a little longer than letter sized) and the letters were *a nightmare* to cut. I did indeed use an exacto knife, and went through 2 blades making all four. Also, there are bits of paper everywhere in my house now.
The secret to good cutting is a good sharp blade (although that can backfire, I often cut *myself*, thankfully there were no accidents during the making of these papercuts) and a surface that the blade can cut into, like a bit of cardboard.
