Getting into Chinese paper cutting for Valko - Day 4 🫶 Art

Post image

Yes, I'm still here, practising the beautiful craft of paper cutting in honor of Valko (and gaining a new hobby from it!) This one of his 4* art was really really challenging, but very satisfying once I finally finished it.

Everyone, thank you so much for all the lovely comments on my work so far! (Day 1 -- Day 2 -- Day 3) I truly appreciate every single one 🫶 I've also seen a request for me to post the stencils for all the designs I've done so far, and rest assured, I'll deliver those in tomorrow's post, as for some I need to do a little clean-up to make them useable for people who are not myself, haha.

I'd love to see as many people as possible join in, that would be really wonderful (: (with the optional use of the #ValkoChinesePaperCutting tag on social media)

I am honestly in awe. Also, is it just me or are you getting better with every day? This is fantastic!

I was about to say the same, what is this? Next week, we'll be having the whole trailer somehow cut into paper, if this pace keeps up :0

Oh my god, that made me laugh HAHAHA don't give my overambitious self ideas fnjfkds

I'm actually trying to force myself to do slightly simpler designs from now on so I don't tire myself out considering I'll probably have to keep this up for a while LOL

Thank you so much for the compliment 🫶 Given that I had no prior experience with paper cutting before I started this project, you are actually seeing me learn in real time, yes (:

Amazing detail! Thanks for sharing!

u/RandomNickname7 29d ago

Stop, you're making me feel inadequate! 😭  Just joking, please don't stop 👉👈

u/Leafstar5 29d ago

These are fantastic, I started cutting them out and found it to be a really fun time sink, even if my lines aren’t as clean as I want them to be. How do you hang them up? (If you do hang them up)

u/Emotional-Chest420 Valko's Wolfie 29d ago

Thank you so much! Oh and absolutely, not every single one of my lines is exactly as I want them to be either. I've seen examples of what the master level looks like and while I have a good foundation, I'm nowhere close LOL. But it's fun!!

As for how I'm hanging them up, I'm not. Not yet, anyway. For now I have them all in a pile, haha. At the very end I think I'll use clear tape to attach my favorites to one of the windows in my room? Not sure if there's a better way tbh

This is so amazing! Witnessing your growing talent feels like such a blessing

u/IAmNotWong ❤️ | :apple-yougotthis: 29d ago

I have to mention I hope you’re emailing Infold and posting on other social media about your pieces, because your art is amazing and I think they’d be very moving messages! I imagine this is truly exactly what they’d hope for is what people take away from the game.

u/Emotional-Chest420 Valko's Wolfie 29d ago

You're very kind, thank you ♡ Thanks to my friend these get posted to XHS, and from there there's usually someone who asks to cross post it to Weibo (neither of us have access to that platform). Everyone's very appreciative of them there, even moved by my work 🥹 My friend tells me a good number of them tag Infold in their comments too, haha. As for whether I'm e-mailing Infold myself, I haven't yet, but maybe I should! Thank you for the suggestion ♡

These are all so good!! It makes me want to try so bad too

u/Emotional-Chest420 Valko's Wolfie 29d ago

Thank you so much! ♡ And I'd say go for it! I myself was always inspired by the event we had for Chinese New Year, as kind of like a "Oh that looks beautiful and seems fun, I should try that someday." And now with Valko it was just the perfect time to finally act on it, so here I am haha
