Do you see what I see? I guess I couldn't make a Star Wars nativity without making a genuine nativity. Have to even put the blasphemous. These were some of the most fun things I've cut out in a while. While cutting this one out, I pretty much sang Christmas songs the whole time.

Just finished this Mary and baby Jesus papercut last night to bring to the @urbanartsgallery December show. Really like how it turned out. #papercut #cutpaper #nativity #maryandjesus #babyjesus #christianart #christmas #scherenschnitte #cindybean #handmade

Day Thirty: Skulls & Skeletons - This is one I'd like to revisit again and make it way more awesome. I'll call this one the rough draft. I found an old Gibsonesque photo of a woman sitting at her vanity table with the image of a skull in the background. I wanted to do something similar but with the mirror image doing something creepily not like the actual person. This will not be my last version of this theme!

Day Twenty-nine: Black Cat - Oh man you guys, I feel like such a failure! So close to the finish line and I miss a day! And on such an easy prompt, too! Well, here's my day late and a dollar short papercut of a black cat. This one is the one in my womb that nudges me every night and pinches me when I sneeze and is due to come forth in March.

Day Twenty-Six: They Came From Outerspace - The last thing Jenny remembered when the alien abducted her was seeing her boyfriend Brock taking pictures with his phone. He didn't lift a finger to try and help her. If she ever got out of this alive, they are through! Currently for sale on etsy (link in profile).

Day Twenty-five: Entombed Tuesday (Graves) - Many years ago, I told my friend Kim that I wanted an angel statue on my grave and that the angel should have a squirrel on it's shoulder. I am modifying that just a bit to make the statue a squirrel angel with it's arms outstretched to the masses. So, if any of you are alive when I die at 100 years old, could you please see that this happens (@holy_frijoles)?

Day Twenty-Three: Superstition Sunday - Mabel had heard that if you look into a pool of water with a lantern on Halloween, you will see the face of the man you will marry. She thought he looked oddly like the shy guy at church who always stared at her during Sunday School. Currently for sale on etsy (link in profile).

Day Twenty-two: Baturday - I asked my friend Kim to send me a picture of her profile because I was going to use her in my papercut of "bats in the belfry" and she willingly obliged. If you've never heard that saying before, it just means someone has a few things loose up in their noggin. I feel like I might try to incorporate that phrase into my vernacular.
