You might remember that I did my first one a few months ago, and shared it in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"this post (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/my-brooklyn-sketchbook-project-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\">this post<\/a>. Now that I&#8217;ve begun my second one, <strong>I thought it would be fun to give you a peek<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find a list of materials at the end of this post. But first, let&#8217;s get to the juicy part with some pictures and tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this page, I&#8217;m using a simple leaf shape. It&#8217;s one I love to cut. Because I work intuitively, and usually without planning, <strong>I pay attention to not only what I think might look good, but what feels good guides me too. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paper Cutting Technique<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to cut towards yourself, use your other hand to steady the page, and be careful to keep your hand out of the path of the blade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-2.jpg\" alt=\"paper cut art journal, paper cut tutorial, paper cutting ideas, paper cut for beginners, paper cut patterns\" class=\"wp-image-9683\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"convertkit-form wp-block-convertkit-form\" style=\"\"><script async data-uid=\"b9b146f421\" src=\"https:\/\/mindful-art-studio.kit.com\/b9b146f421\/index.js\" data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" data-no-defer=\"1\" data-no-optimize=\"1\" nowprocket><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an example of how repetition can be beautiful, at least I think so.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Paper-Cut-Journal-3.jpg\" alt=\"paper cut art journal, paper cut tutorial, paper cutting ideas, paper cut for beginners, paper cut patterns\" class=\"wp-image-9684\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-7-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Paper Cutting as an Intuitive Art<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing my own &#8220;vocabulary&#8221; of organic and geometric shapes is one of parts of the intuitive paper cutting process that I have found most fun. <strong>I went through a process of deep exploration, pushing each technique to see what I could do with it,<\/strong> and mining my own scratch pages for unique ideas. I walk you through this same process in my paper cutting class, <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/shop\/paper-cut-art-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paper Cut Art Journal<\/a>. It&#8217;s thrilling to see my students creating in ways I never dreamed possible with paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is my happy place.<\/strong> I love seeing what develops before me. Working intuitively is such an adventure. I don&#8217;t know what will happen next. Sometimes I love what happens, and sometimes I don&#8217;t, but <strong>often those &#8220;mistakes&#8221; lead me to change things up and get more interesting.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll see how that happens with this series of pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Paper-Cutting-.jpg\" alt=\"paper cut art journal, paper cut tutorial, paper cutting ideas, paper cut for beginners, paper cut patterns\" class=\"wp-image-9687\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> One of the things that makes paper cut art journals so fascinating is the way you work with layers. <\/strong>Because of the holes, each page has a relationship to the pages around it. I go more in depth into this in my class, <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/shop\/paper-cut-art-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paper Cut Art Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s so cool when you can surprise yourself, and it keeps happening for me in paper cutting, and for my students as well. Each time I think I know the limits of this beautiful art form, another artist proves me wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out what you can do with a paper cut art journal &#8211; I think you&#8217;ll be amazed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Circles.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Circles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Circles-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Birds.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Birds.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Birds-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Window.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Window.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Paper-Cut-Art-Journal-Window-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials List for Paper Cutting:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Journal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sketchbook Project Journal (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynartlibrary.com\/sketchbookproject\" target=\"_blank\">Sketchbook Project Journal<\/a> from the Brooklyn Art Library &#8211; this is a super cool global art project that I LOVE!
