Looking in deeper.

 This page has a deeper insight of how scissors can be used.  Apart from the two images at the bottom of this page of the hair being cut, the other 3 however are more interesting. The image with the scissors cutting the ribbon saying cut spending has a double meaning. Not only is it physically cutting the ribbon it is also telling us to cut spending, so the word "cut" is used in two ways. As much as at the time i thought it was a good idea, i understand that this may not be "celebrating" the object scissors. The other image of the scissors cutting the heart, came from the phrase " you have cut my heart" as in you have broken the heart. Again this does not celebrate the idea of scissors. The last one of the scissors cutting the line between North Korea and South Korea, i found was interesting to work with. I wanted to show the idea that between these two countries they are cut off from each other, no connection at all.



On these two other sheets I had thought of connecting animal heads to the actual scissors. I first started off with the head of a crocodile. It was important to think of an animal head that can cut things. So i then looked at birds beaks mainly because it similar to the shape of the razor part of the scissors and a shark. I began to then think that maybe this idea has more potential, so what i did was look at more animal heads as seen below.
















After looking at all these animal heads, i began to think that this idea depended too much on the actual animal head instead of the scissors. So i stepped back and looked at a different section.
