Custom Hand-Cut Portraits & Bookmarks

i turn blank paper into keepsakes by hand. whether it's a portrait of someone you love or a floral initial bookmark, let's create something magic together.

A little glimpse of me and my art. I love the contrast between creating a detailed custom portrait and then a symbolic piece like this winged bird. Each one has its own story and I pour my heart into both.

I find cutting these little personalized bookmarks so relaxing between my bigger projects. This video shows the whole process of hand cutting a floral 'S' initial. Every tiny piece is removed by hand with a blade, no machines involved, just a lot of patience.

About Custom Portraits & Bookmarks

every single line is hand-cut with a precision blade, no machines allowed. because i use 200 gsm archival paper, these pieces are sturdy, but they definitely prefer to stay away from direct sunlight. since i work entirely by hand, it takes a little patience to get the details perfect, so keep that in mind when you reach out!

Here is another style of leaf portrait I offer, which uses clean lines to create a clear and striking image. This is a great option for a simpler, more graphic custom portrait.
