The Year of the Snake paper-cutThe focus of production is actually to shape the paper-cut snake itself, but due to the snakes The special properties make it very difficult to create a paper-cut snake. Among the twelve zodiac signs, except for the snake, the other images are actually relatively plump. No matter in terms of body structure or background culture, only the snake has always been at a disadvantage. This makes paper-cutting artists very troubled. . Until now, the most common processing method used by some of our paper-cut artists is to enrich the image of the paper-cut snake by adding some other elements. This processing method is relatively simple, but there is another processing method, which is to perform deep processing on the style of the paper-cut snake itself.

From this interesting looking Year of the SnakePaper cuttingWe can see from the snake pattern that the configuration of this paper-cut snake is very different from the traditional paper-cut snake.

We can notice that the body of the paper-cut snake does not appear in this pattern.It has a very smooth structure, but a somewhat concave and convex feeling. In fact, such a shape can make the paper-cut snake look more dynamic, and can better reflect the feeling of the paper-cut snake being constantly twisting. This kind of shape is also the first time to be seen in the production of paper-cuts for the Year of the Snake.
