Progress - Colored my flower, it still needs some cleaning up but it is mostly done. I've begun adding a hummingbird, which will be sipping from the flower-spout.
Almost finished with my Fantasy Appliance! I am still not convinced that the white outline around the hummingbird and oil container is the best, but I will continue thinking about it and editing it.
This week I was able to get a bunch of my work done on the "statue". I think it turned out pretty good, a little less shapely than my sketch, but that was to be expected when working with hot glue. I made rings of hot glue to stack on each other to build up the statue, and I think this method worked pretty well. Now I have to incorporate digital work into this piece, I have a couple ideas on how to do that. I may take some photos of the piece on a plain background so that I can manipulate it in Adobe, try to make it look more ethereal and less clunky, play with blending layers and such. My other idea was to upload a photo of the statue but keep most of it photo-realistic, and edit in little fragments of a face into the mirror shards.
I started this project by taking pictures of myself about every hour - not the most fun task taking unflattering, head-on photos, but once I started collaging them together it started looking less weird. Here are the first two, these are mostly experimental but I may use them if they work well. The first is 7am and the second is 8am. Also, I have decided that the printed book will be small - 6 x 6 inches.
