A couple of days ago, Ange made some "paper doll" turtles. I commented about how, if I had a bucket list, learning how to cut paper dolls this way would be on it. I'm not sure how I missed out on learning how to do this while growing up, but I do remember a couple of attempts where none of my pieces were connected. Maybe after that I just gave up?

So, I thought I would give it a go with trees...

I spent most of the process laughing at myself and all of the detail I had drawn. Seems like I would have kept it a little simpler, but no. And while the forest started out seven trees strong, two mistakenly had their tops trimmed during all the detail work.

and because I couldn't resist playing with such a sweet image...

Thanks for the inspiration, Ange!
