The Papper Cutting Project--the design chart 2


Because the porcelain with hollow and the glass with sand blasting looks very different, so I make a big change with my design chart.I still keep the confederate rose, but it raise up from two into four, and I also put two butterflies on it. I want it will look like the the garden in spring.

The Papper Cutting Project--the difficult&change

After I finish the papper model, I beginning to make the product. However, almost as soon as I start to search for the materials, I encounter the problem.The porcelain can not cut, but other materials can not do what I want. After thinking for a few days, I decided to change the porcelain into glass, and change hollow into sand blasting.
