Exotic: Cabinet of Curiosities - Fiji Mermaid

A wunderkammer style Fiji Mermaid papercraft. I created this by cutting rigid bristol board which I covered with a light watercolor wash, and then I shaded each of the individual pieces using black pastels. I am quite pleased with the outcome!

This piece is currently available (framed) at our Etsy store.

And here are a couple of extra pictures of the piece:

Abraham Lincoln Cut-Out Portrait

I really enjoyed working on the Grim Raven in black and white, so I decided to give the style another try. This is made out of pieces of paper that were individually cut and shaded with charcoal and black pastel. It's always a bit of a guessing game how it is going to turn out, so they are quite fun to assemble.

Grim Raven (Mark 2)

I didn't like some aspects of my first Grim Raven attempt, so I decided to give it another attempt. I fixed the angle on the head, and added some more texture to the wings, which I quite like.

This piece, as well as a lot of other cut-outs and prints, are for sale in my wife and I's Etsy store - ChuckleTree.
