Three Putti with a Fishing Net

 

 

Three Putti with a Fishing Net

 

This Round drawing features four Putti playing in a water garden.
The title is "Three Putti..." but if you look in the upper right of the Circle
you will see a fourth little Putti / Cherub pouring water from a jug!

 

Since this Circular illustration is cropped close to the edge; when you print it out,
you can set your printer to print to measurements that are the nearest size of your round punch or cutting guide.

If you don't have a punch or other guide try this:
Round cookie cutters or metal bells with handles make great guides for drawing and cutting circles.
Because they usually don't have thick rounded edges;
they sit flat on the surface and have a clean edge that "sits" well on the paper.
This gives you a way to easily press down hard on the paper (to keep it from moving), while the handles help keep your non-dominant hand out of the way while you trace or cut around the shape outline with a craft blade.

Putti Holding Garland Banner and A Lion on a Shelf

.

Horizontal Banner of Putti. Top Corner Shelf with Lion & Helmet

 

Putti on Horizontal Banner & Lion with Helmet on Top Corner

Here are two images that can be used to decorate pages in your Junk Journals or other artworks.

The Putti hold a garland of fruit. This would be nice across the top or bottom of pages.

 

Create a mirror image of the Lion shelf and you will have a nice image to go across the top of your pages.

 Add lines across from side to side to create an area for journal writing.

 

The Lion and Helmet can be used with Classical themes or even
themes leaning toward the Masculine - such as Armor, Military, or
add it to things that prove interesting to Boys.
It would do well with themes of Castles and Knights.
