My Process for 3D Cut Paper Illustrations

It's funny I have a hard time explaining what I do for my illustration technique, so I decided to make a video detailing the process. It is like a behind the scenes peak at the illustrations before I shoot them. 

It is funny how I've had some people wonder your illustrations look like they are real. Yes! Everything was made by me. There is the rare case I use some pre-made materials. I did buy fake snow. Most everything is hand cut, sewn, crocheted, woven, and painted. I get a lot of personal satisfaction from making everything in my own tiny illustrated worlds. 

Young children never question why I work like this. Instead I get "That is so COOL!"  I think at the end of the day do what you LOVE with the work you create. People notice when do you do things for the joy of it.

Happy Illustrating!
