Determining where to make a cut on a large Terraskin painting

On my live feed tonight on Instagram, I discuss how to make the cut on a large sheet of alcohol inks. This one was on Terraskin. I found it to be too much and therefore I decided to break it into smaller little minis.
So after looking at the pieces broken into smaller manageable sizes, I run it through my favourite thing, the guillotine. There are two sounds I love, that and scissors. I stamped some trees on some of the edges and gave a little definition of the horizon line. Some of them still need some work with little touch ups but here is what we have so far.

This was the piece stamped with trees on the left hand side and then I decided to make the cut at the base of the metalic tree.

I see a mountain in the back ground.

This one will get a line in the horizon to make it look like either clouds or other trees.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
