New work: Webbed lace vase

One more piece in my lacy series. The lace on this one is a return to the angular shapes of my earlier pieces, but with even more cutouts. As I’ve gotten into the series, I’ve gotten comfortable cutting away more and more of the paper and learned that I can go a lot farther than I expected without the piece collapsing on itself. In this piece, I laid out the lace by drawing straight lines and cut out all the gaps between them. That leaves a lot of gaps where you can see through both layers of lace and all the way through the model. Like most of my recent pieces in the series, this one is painted on the inside, but the color isn’t nearly as visible with so many cutouts.
