Hi, I am Vaishali, myself & my partner Nayan, we are paper cut artists based in India. We have been making paper artworks for one year now. We took up the 365 days challenge of creating miniature colorful birds using paper and watercolors for this entire year of 2018. Here we are sharing our works of art from our ongoing series of Miniature Paper Birds.
The concept of these miniatures is to express the intricacy & vibrance of the beautiful birds around us. We used the technique of layered paper cutting to give volume to the unique artworks and get a three-dimensional feel to them.
All the beautiful artworks are entirely hand-cut and hand-painted and are made without using any kind of magnifying tools. Each layer is precisely hand-cut on paper and painted to the exact shade of the bird after which it is assembled to get the final look. Every single colorful painting takes from 4-8 hours to complete depending on the details of feathers & colors. Some of the tiniest paper birds measure only 1.8 CM in height (from head to tail).
For daily updates on our tiny "Paper Birds" visit our Instagram profile. Enjoy our artworks.

I love them. I am a paper artist too but I do cut paper. These are beautiful. You're doing a fantastic job. The quality is lovely. Thanks for sharing. It boosts other artists.
It would be cool if you put one each on small uniform framed canvases in a grid on the wall.
I like being able to see the human hand in most of these. You can really get a good feel for how mini these birds are! Amazing!!!
Amazing! They look so real, thanks for including a finger for scale. Wow.
Thank you so much for bringing Mother Nature's beautiful creatures to our attention. Brilliant work! Ingenius! Again, thank you!
These are all absolutely stunning! It must take so long to get the paper just right. Props to you for having the skill and patience to do this!
