More tiny paintings

I have new scissors for decorative cuts and tried them on my A6 papers - some had to be fixed with nail scissors (is that what you call those tiny scissors for your fingernails?) because they're tricky to align when one cut isn't enough for a side. Done with ink pens, watercolour pencils, chalk, and charcoal; papers are Fabriano Tiziano (greys and beige) cut to A6 size, Hahnemühle mould-made watercolour paper (white) 8×10,5cm, and a 3×4cm snippet of thick paper I had left from somewhere for the curly-haired woman.

Is there anything more useless than an incomplete set of playing cards? We have several. When primed with white paint however, they give a decent tiny canvas (I also tried using a cheap gold paint that needed to be appplied VERY generously to be opaque); the drawings are done in ink pens, pencil, gold pen, and acrylic paint. They are also nice to colour with printer inks that make wonderfully surprising patterns
