Currently I am taking a 3D illustration course that is allowing me to branch out and experiment with a whole new type of medium as well as getting in touch with a different way of conceptualizing. For this piece, I was very inspired by Joseph Barbaccia's technique with polymer clay (www.paradisestudio.com). Instead of polymer clay, I used sculpey and layered my pieces. The nose on the french bulldog as well as each flower are all done individually and then layered to create a more 3D effect with a somewhat 2D concept. I used beer bottle caps to raise each clay piece off of the wooden board. I used scraps of fabric to sew together the gown and then I photoshopped the wood to a blue hue to add a contrasting color to the red.

This shot was geared more towards illustration- as if this were meant to be

published in some type of editorial piece. 

This photo was taken to show the 3D project as more of an object rather than an illustration.
