2D Design - Expanding The Square ( Progress)

After the trial cut, I changed the problem with my design and start to cut it.

Assymetrical

Since there are a lot of small pieces in this paper cut. I paste and cut at the same time to prevent losing any part of the paper cut. I skipped a beat when one of my feathers was missing. Luckily I found it under the cutting mat.

Symmetrical

Different from the way I did the assymetrical paper cut, I cut every part that needs to be cut first and spray a layer of spray mount on the back of the paper. After that i pasted the owl on the mounting board and start to lift up the other part of the paper cut leaving the small pieces on the mounting board with neat and tidy shape.  I found out that it is easier to do it this way as the chance of losing any part of the paper cut is reduced. After that i sticked the other parts on th other side and started to build up the feathers by scratching it.
