Publicity Shot!

I'm excited to be exhibiting this model and other work next week from 6th July -9th July at New Designers 2016 http://www.newdesigners.com/ Here photographer Evie Barker has shot my model side by side with David Litchfield's book. 

The Bear and The Piano

I had a blast experimenting with new techniques. The Bear is sculpted using Super Sculpey over a soft aluminium and foil armature, this took a couple of attempts in the oven after one fell over mid bake! The piano was lazer cut from balsa wood with keys from acrylic and card . I found a you tuber called Luke Towan - Bolder Creek Railroad whose tutorials and skill at creating miniature scenes is exceptional, from his video I adapted techniques for the trees, flowers and grass which included the building of a static grass applicator. Thanks to the fashion and textiles tutor who started and helped plan the clothes but a special thanks to my Mum who made all the clothes with me watching over her!

Another shot of The Bear and The Piano and more thanks to give! Thanks to http://eviebarkerphotography.squarespace.com/ for yet another fantastic photo shoot and edit. This shot is one of my favourites as it really picks up the detail of the scene and is back dropped with one of David Litchfield's beautiful illustrations from his book.

This is my final project as part for the HNC 3D Design. Thanks to the talented staff at Bedford college I have enjoyed an inspiring year of study, in particular illustrator and author David Litchfield whose amazing book "The Bear and The Piano"was my inspiration.
