I did this one back in 2005. As a child I used to cut my arms when I was stressed, then I realised I could cut paper instead. So I started doing that. This project took a long time. I made a number of mistakes on this, being only my second attempt at paper stencils. You may not see them, but I remember each tear that I had to adjust. Probably the dumbest thing I did was all those tiny scales. Practically doubled my time.

Used: Printer Paper, Pencil, X-acto knife, cutting board
Time: Done sporadically over the course of 5 months. I think I spent somewhere near 40 hours on it.
