ARTWORK! Guardian Angel Jeff
I first dreamed up the idea of Jeffrey Dean Morgan with wings somewhere in 2013. I had planned to create him as a prompt for the ReverseBang, but then the trip to Australia happened and I just couldn't give him my full time and attention. When the 2014 RB schedule didn't agree with me, I decided to do this project as a personal challenge. It took longer than I had originally planned and I'd like to thank everyone who responded to the WIP posts for encouraging me to finish it;) I'm proud to present Guardian Angel Jeff!
Material: sparkling Ice Cold (white, 300 g/m² ) paper from the Curious Metallics collection. Colouring was done with melted (heated) crayons (=wax;)
Tools/Technique: paper was cut using a simple, small exacto knife; the wings were connected with fishing line; the front and back body were glued together.
Out of the 154 photos and two videos I made to try and capture paper Jeff, I selected 9 photos, created two gifs and picked one video to share below the silhouette teaser...

First photoshoot was in front of my wall to catch the shadow.
Different effects of the light through and on the wings.
With the backlight from the lighttable you can see the papercut details even better
I've turned the turbo light on for the gif from the back:)
Subtle folding creates an extra 3D effect:) - The photoshoot on the balcony was quite windy.
Check out the video!
In the end I made the best cloud-shots in front of my bedroom window:
The end. Comments are much appreciated:)
