Ship on Wave
This is still one of my best papercuts, even though it's about two years old. I used printer paper and razor blades--it was originally mounted on a re-purposed grocery bag (with Elmer's glue, ick, I don't know what I was thinking), and I had to kind of shave it off the old paper so I could remount it on archival materials.
Framing this was a bear; I found the frame at a junk shop, but it was just joined wood--no way to lay in the glass, mat, and image. We had to use the joined wood as a base and construct a gutter in the back.
Despite various Complications and Drama, I actually own this one (it wasn't for sale at the show).
