First Post for my First Design

I figured I would dedicate my first post to my original papercut design.  I first learned how to papercut in high school when my class asked our art teacher to dedicate a unit to Judaica.  She taught us Hebrew calligraphy and papercutting- and I have been slightly obsessed ever since.  When I am sitting in a boring class my doodles usually consist of fancy P'sukim (biblical verses) and intricate layered designs.  For that first project I decided to be extra ambitious and do more than the standard two layer quadrilateral papercut.  I have played with and developed this design since high school but I always love to come back this colorful geometric scene of Jerusalem.
