Description A project that I finished back in November of 2013. I wasn't able to post it till now because it was a Christmas gift for someone.

For this project I wanted to start doing more 3 dimensional work by using different wood thicknesses and layering them onto a wood frame. I made a templet in Illustrator so that I could use it for making the pieces. Each piece was cut out by hand using an xacto blade, hot knife, or hand saw. The letters at the bottom where also cut out by hand with an xacto blade. After all the pieces were cut out I proceeded to paint the pieces and glue them down. For the fox I used yupo paper and acrylic inks to achieve the space effect. The project took a whole month to complete. The most time consuming part was cutting everything out by hand.

I am planning on doing more work like this here very soon. I have access to a laser cutter so cutting out the pieces will be much easier and less time consuming. Also the pieces will be precise....I had to sand stuff down or just re-cut pieces because they were off, but not anymore!

If you'd like to see more progress shots please visit my facebook page:www.facebook.com/octobombstudi…

Hope you all enjoy the piece!!

Done with: bass wood, balsa wood, watercolor, acrylic ink, and glue

Size: 12x20"

lol Glad I'm not the only one. I have two jobs right now so I don't know when I will have the free time to start on stuff. :/
