Even more 3d work...

Here are another three images from my latest project:

All the sets are made our of paper and fabric.  Everyone always asks me 'HOW did you make that tiny henry hoover in the bedroom scene?!'  It was actually one of the quickest things to make.  I just rolled up some paper and painted it and stuck some little beads for the wheels.  The cord bit is made from a shoelace.  I also designed the cat wallpaper myself.

The day before yesterday I had my final hand in for assessment.  I had to pack up all these 3d sets and take them into uni.  They filled up one massive bag, a big box and a wheely suitcase!  I suppose it's quite a milestone, the final assessment, if I really think about it.  I've been in uni for five and a half years and this is now finally the end!  To be honest I'm quite glad.  I cant wait to go and earn some money and start a career!

I took some photos of some of the things I handed in for assessment.  A box of props.  In this box you can see a tiny shopping trolley made from wire (this took me AGES.  It was by far the most tedious thing I made), the cat bed from the bedroom scene, a few different versions of the mother character and a load of other random stuff.

The photo above is the front cover for my book.  (Hmm this post is very orange themed!)

And here's a spread from inside (more orange!):

Now I've just got to work out which photos to display for my exhibition!


Well that's all from me today!  Must go and draw some more Victoria Stitch things to put in my exhibition!

Hope everyone has a nice day

Love and orange glitter

Snow Queen

We had our crit for the delivery project today. i was a bit annoyed because I knew I could have expanded my idea more by putting intruction leaflet things inside the pill boxes to explain more what they were about and to make it more interesting but I didn’t because I had got bored of the project which means I still have to finish it off now grrr. But anyway I will look at paracetamol intruction leaflets in the Christmas holidays or something. Also I THINK the tutors preferred the illustration on the box of depressants to the the box of happy pills.

I know everyone was pleased with the boxes I sent out with smarties in them though. They all texted me the next day to say thanks for the happy pills lol Norwich post is fast! Other people sent theirs to really interesting people, people they didn’t know like art directors and supermarket chairpeople and other famous illustrators. I wish I could have another stab at this project now. I don’t feel like I did my best for it at all!

Rob was surprised that none of us had ever heard of Charles Addams who created the Addams family and he told me to look him up because I might find his illustrations useful.

Carol brought in some REALLY nice cake for part of her project and we all got to eat some :) I think it was lemon and ginger? Anyway it was yum.

I have been working on my ‘apartment’ for tomorrow. I started off my using snowflake wallpaper becasue it was the paper I had the most of so I decided I would make a house for the Snow Queen or Jack Frost although it’s more of a bedroom really rather that a whole apartment. It’s all blue! a colour I barely ever use or wear… but it has FAIRYLIGHTS in it!!! Which makes me feel Christmassy

The outside of the apartment^ plain and boring like it is meant to be. We were told to do it in black and white.
Peeping through the window^

Close up^ It looks very blue when the fairy lights are on...
Looking through two of the outside windows^
An overview of the whole room^
Th wardrobe wit her dress hanging on it^ Also her slippers and stillettos.
The dressing table with her perfume and CROWN on it!
I really enjoyed this once I got into it and I was surprised at how quickly I managed to make it, esp the furniture becasue I did the whole thing in almost one day. I am excited to see what the towers will look like tomorrow. I will take pictures.
