Continuing in my quest to get better at scherenschnitte, I practiced at lot this past week (click the thumbnails to see the full pics):

The templates I used:
- frog
- deer
- bunny and mushrooms
- llama and monkey
- elephant
- bicycle
- witch
- faerie
- cowboy
- Victorian dining
- tree
- panda (Whoops — forgot to capture the url. I’ll add it when I find it.)
- unicorns
- boy and dog
- dragon
- woman in frilly dress
- gypsy
- Harry Potter owl
I’m going to start drawing my own soon to practice on too. :)
I really can’t wait for this book. Love the trailer:
About Leviathan:
Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battletorn war machine and a loyal crew of men.
Deryn Sharp is a commoner, disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She’s a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.
With World War I brewing, Alek and Deryn’s paths cross in the most unexpected way…taking them on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure that will change both their lives forever.
