I Created Miniature Paper Cut Artworks Every Day For 1000 Days To Create Awareness About Wildlife

ADVERTISEMENT

“1000 Feather project” is a self initiated creative challenge we started on 1st January 2018 for spreading awareness about wildlife. The Project was focused on creating awareness among our viewers about the importance and beauty of wildlife through art and we created 1000 different artworks, one artwork per day.

The process for each artwork begins with a sketch and after that the fur/feathers of the species are cut from a paper using a precision knife in different layers. After that each layer is coloured using watercolours in the exact shade of the species. Each artwork takes four to six hours to finish depending on the details of the species. The tiniest artworks measure only 1.8 CM from head to tail. Each paper artwork is photographed either perched on a twig, walking or sitting in sand, or suspended up in the sky to look as if they’re flying, this style of photography is used to give the viewer a sense of life in the artwork and a context to the species created.

The main motive behind this series is to spread awareness about nature and wildlife through art. And make the world appreciate their contribution and importance to our ecosystem.

​*No magnifying tools are used in creating these artworks

    "The Paper Ark" formerly called NVillustration is an artistic collaboration between myself Venus Bird and Nayan Shrimali. At The Paper Ark we strive to redefine paper as a material and use art as a means of educating people about our planet's unique biodiversity. We want to bring attention to how fragile everyone is through art and stories. To pique viewers' curiosity and encourage them to learn more about our wildlife, we took on the challenge of creating miniature, highly detailed birds, animals and all the beautiful beings found in the world. ​ Mother Earth is our greatest motivator; we go birdwatching and exploring the wilderness around our city on a frequent basis. Every time we go out, we return with our minds full of amazing experiences and information, such as aiding Red Wattled Lapwing chicks to cross a road, releasing a turtle back into a river from a field, or witnessing a butterfly emerge from a pupa in the morning. And there is still so much to experience and see in nature that one lifetime will not suffice. ​ We therefore hope to create a world that is more conscious of and knowledgeable about the wildlife they share the planet with by using the simple material paper as our medium and exploring the versatile characteristics of paper to create art which is inspired from our beloved wild beings.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
