Last couple of years quite a few people asked and suggested that I should sell my original paper cut artworks. I have done before, and regretted that I'd sold. Then, I have looked for a laser-cut service near by my town. This Autumn, at last, I found one which does for custom made order, especially, for artists as well.
They have done excellent job; the laser-cut paper artworks are incredibly precise, but the difference is the thickness of the paper. I use rather thin paper to cut the intricate images. The laser-cut machine can cut the same job with much thicker paper. I chose 270gsm (90gsm black paper for my original paper cut). I can't cut such details with thick paper like this. Besides, the paper, which was used for the laser-cut, is eco-friendly. Chlorine free pulp is not surprising, but the paper is also made with spent brewer's grain. The team of the laser-cut studio told me that it smelled nicer when they cut the paper than usual paper.
The photo above is a 10x10cm small artwork, can be used as an Christmas ornament, or can be framed. The frame is double glazed and place a thin washi Japanese paper behind the lase-cut piece.
The one below is the larger one (28x28cm) but still not large. The original pieces are the same size.
