Cut and Fold Design Shapes in Black Paper

I really enjoyed this part of the chapter. I found it fascinating working out how best to cut the paper to get the desired shape. I particularly like the shapes shown on page 8 and would be curious to overlay this with the 'pin' image I commented on for Chapter One. In fact many of these would work well overlaid on each other. I used scissors for this activity but some of the cuts are not clean and so I will likely use a craft knife for the next part of the chapter.































Before I cut into the black paper I tried out a few shapes with plain white copier paper - three of these 'practice runs' have been mounted onto black card...
