Beveling Some Cuts

Recommended Posts

I have been inspired by Jim Linnell to do more decoration just with swivel knife cuts.

Now I am experimenting with taking it a step further and using the same style of cuts, I add a bit of subtle beveling.

To illustrate, here are two can wraps that I am working on. One is just pure cuts and the second have some of the cuts beveled.

Here is closer detail to show how I faded out the beveling:

Lastly I added a few more cuts just to fill things out a bit.

I personally think variations of an Art Form is what keeps the Form interesting. I am neither for or against the beveling, I do like your design without the beveling.

I have tried subtle backgrounding inside some "leafy" knife designs, they add interest also.

Maybe you have gone a little beyond subtlety plus your beveling needs some work.

Your last effort with additional cuts adds another dimension, I like it.

Just my opinion.
