Abstract 3D work based on photographs


This was created using paper straws and binding them together using cable ties. They were then glued together with the glue-gun creates the shape seen in the top picture. I spraypainted them blue as there is a blue background in the photograph.

 This is a close-up of it


I also did the same thing in this picture but I left it white to make it look more like the washing-up brush in the photograh of which it was based of.




This was made out of paper mache around a blown-balloon. Around four layers of paper are enough. I then left it to dry for two days and then popped the balloon. I made the glue myself, out of flour and water. This is a much cheaper method than buying glue and it is also more environmently friendly. The photograph of which it is based of is a close-up picture of a plant. I made the spikes using barbeque sticks which I sticked into the form. I used the glue-gun in some places to secure the sticks and makes sure they wont fall out. I used watercolour to colour the sticks. The only difference between the two is that in the top picture I used coloured paper and in the other one I didn't.
