First Annabel Lee Cut-Out!

Today we scanned our pencil drawings of Annabel Lee onto the computer and edited it using Photoshop. We made the outline of her darker and added the colours to her dress and hair that we wanted. We also reflected the bottom of the dress and her arms so they were symmetrical and identical. The printed images colour came out out a lot darker than it did on screen so we will have to saturate the image a lot more so that the colours aren't printed so dark.

After we printed her out on A3 card, we used a scalpel to cut Annabel Lee out. After cutting her out with the separate limbs and hands we used a needle and thread to join the parts of her limbs together. The needle was too thick and ended up ripping the cardboard slightly and also the thread was black and probably too thin so next time we attempt a cut out we will use a much thinner needle and thicker white thread.
