What's so funny? Only he knows!

This cockatoo was to be part of a series of parrots, but I decided to single him out because I liked him the best. He is cut by me, by hand, from lignen free, acid free cardstock. This was my first picture cutting with the Fiskars Fingertip Control Cutter, which is basically an x-acto blade on a ring. I love it, although I can't do the inner cuts as fine as I would like.

How cool! He looked almost like a finger shadow puppet at first, and reminds me fondly of a small illustrated book of shadow puppets I used to own. Very cute and impressive cutting skills.

Thanks so much! He could almost be a puppet now that you mention it.

My cutting skills aren't that impressive, but I appreciate it. Some day I hope to be like this guy:
