Pop-ups and Papercuts

Winter’s SongAbout a month ago, I splurged and bought a cutting plotter — it cuts and scores shapes one has designed in Illustrator. I’ve wanted to make a few pop-up books, but all the hand-cutting has been a big deterrent.
I’ve spent the past several weeks learning the foibles of the machine. My first “pop-up” was a simple papercut to illustrate one of my haiku — that’s it to the left.

  1. This is charming 🙂 I like the contrast between the red and white, against the soft blue and green of the covers.
