My mind is always flying

Finally I got the book I ordered weeks ago, you know because of the strike I didn't get it on time, 'Pass the celery, Ellery' is a wonderful book, I love the illustrations of Jeffrey Fisher and this made me change my mind, Fisher's work is more simple than I am and I always tend to complicate things and do lot of detail when sometimes it is not necessary. I decided to give up the paper mache idea and create cardboard teapots with Fisher character's personality and put them carefully in a shoebox decorated also in the artist's style. I am very pleased with the result, the work is funny, and I seemed to finally understand Fisher's style but I am not sure he would probably like my teapots, however I do. I love them!

3D piece

I decided to create a papermache Teapot and I did many experiments including building a 3D shape but it didn't work out very well, it was too messy, too big, too many wrong things and I changed my mind, I always change my mind I wonder why?

Character experimentation

The first picture was used for my proposal presentation. It looks very nice although Fisher's style is more simple.

the second picture is way far more in his style, using patterns to recreate the form.

The third picture was made one morning in the studio when I suddenly felt the urge to personalise the Teapot.

Some rough sketches

These are the sketches I did at the beginning of my teapot research. I played with different media like, pencil, ink, marker and pen. It is always interesting to do different studies like continuous line as this always helps me to recognise the shape of the object easily.

Next step The Teapot!

As part of our project we had been designated to do a piece of work in the style of the artist. We had to chose a piece of paper with the name of an object and for me this was a Teapot. I always heard Britain is famous for its obsession with Tea and I think it would be very interesting learn about the TEAPOT which plays a very important part in making the tea.
