Dragonfly Papercut Artwork

As artists we're constantly looking for intricacy in nature. We came across a fantastic photo of a dragonfly that really showcased the intricate lacework of its body and wings and we couldn't resist recreating it as a papercut picture.

Dragonflies are so iconic, especially in the UK. They remind me of fairies the way they fly, when you see them up close they are equally as other worldly. The intricacy of this piece really challenged us, the finished product is really something.

The inspiration for creating these unique laser cut pictures was to capture the shadow on the back of the box frame. With such great depth in the box frame a dramatic shadow is always cast and creates a 3d effect. As the pictures capture different lights during the day and evening the shadows will subtly change.
