arty folio cover

I feel I should be wearing red lippy and saying 'yar, yar' a lot - I've got my 'arty' on and finished my folio cover for school - it's a bit late (should have been handed in last week) but apparently arty types don't run to schedules very well - suits me to a 'T' then ;)

The folio cover started with this frighful 'still life' rendition (explained here)....


and ended up as this:


there's a bit of 3D with the gerbera on the right....


a little FMQing....


and it even stands up....


I've recorded my process and included references to the elements and principles of design, as instructed - that's all inside the folio in presentation order - so that can be crossed off my list.......next item on the agenda is a 'Lucious Lemon' out of panne velvet and some stuffing - hmm - think I might go and pack some more of the camper trailer and cogitate a while...

  5. Wow, even though I've followed your process, the jump from start to finish is still *shocking* as fitting for someone whose named their blog Shocking Hocking. I love that you were able to cross something of the ToDo list--such a nice feeling, isn't it??
