Busy day and running late for today's theme.
Tried to be different, experiment with a few paper cuttings but can't hold up for shooting. Settled for this, not symmetrical, but still presentable. I placed small LEDs around it to create the tungsten effect.
Hope you like it.

Tattoo by my lovely friend Siobhan Creedon. She drew it inspired by my love of Scherenschnitte, particularly Elsita's, and my required cast of characters.
4 hours of poking = woohoo!!
Forgive the lumpiness- it's not healed yet. I just couldn't wait any longer, particularly with Maryse commanding me to take photos.
It comes in a beautiful box decorated with an original painting.

№162 My Paper-cutting
一昨年の秋、久しぶりに秋の関西を訪れて、大好きな人たちと
数日、紅葉やおしゃべりを楽しんだ。
すごく楽しかった気持ちと美しかった紅葉を何とか切り絵にしたくて切った。

An indispensable little hand tool that fits well in the hand. I have had the knife for a few years now ....
A utility knife is any type of knife used for general manual work purposes. Such knives were originally fixed-blade knives with durable cutting edges suitable for rough work such as cutting cordage, cutting/scraping hides, butchering animals, cleaning fish scales, reshaping timber, and other tasks. Craft knives are small utility knives used as precision-oriented tools for finer, more delicate tasks such as carving and papercutting.
Today, the term "utility knife" also includes small folding-, retractable- and/or replaceable-razor blade knives suited for use in the general workplace or in the construction industry. The latter type is sometimes generically called a Stanley knife, after a prominent brand. [Source: Wikipedia]
I've never had a "thing" for shoes but have always loved paper and stationary, maybe that's why I love paper shoes :)
