The second series I began working on a week and a half ago (along with the one I mentioned previously) is a revisit to the land of circle cut layers of paper. It’s a darn good idea and I decided it needn’t end with white rabbits.

The first animals that came to mind were snails, owls, and crows because they are amongst my favourites. I cut a somewhat sloppy owl face that I will probably redo, but the snail is simple and perfect.

Progress on the snail paper cut layers was coming along nicely until I accidentally dripped blue ink onto the piece. That’ll teach me to not to leave work on the floor while other work involving ink is going on.

What are your favourite animals? I’m open to suggestions, as long as they suit the circles.
