Toilet roll reclaimed for Paper Saturday

Last week I learned about a Japanese artist, who made wonderful art installations out of the small paper rolls. I made an instant attempt of my own.
Today I make a kind of "sketch" or another tryout, and I will show you a few process pictures.
I start with a pencil sketch of the motive. Here I added a little pastel to give it colour.



For cutting I use this cutting tool, which is very useful and comfortable to hold (like a pen).


In the picture below you can see the cut line, following the outline of my drawing.
If you have a very detailed motiv you need to start with the inner lines, as the material is rather vulnerable.



Here are the two ladies "standing" up/out from the roll.



Originally my idea was, to let them face each other, but that didn't work out.
This cutting process is really interesting to me, and I have done this, lying flat on thin cardboard when I was young(er).

Have a wonderful week end you all!
