noordzee:Some Good Omens South Downs sentimentality. <3I’ve been working on this papercraft off and on since February! I did a looong work-in-progress thread over on my twitter, you can start here: zeeteeart/status/1232079833083105281/photo/1It was fun making bitty potted plants and books and other things Aziraphale and Crowley would like and slowly filling this little roombox! Digging into my paper collection to find interesting textures and patterns and prints was great, too. The rug, lamp, curtains, blanket, and Aziraphale’s waistcoat all use William Morris designs from a postcard set I got last year, I think they suit him well! The prints on the wall are from some auction catalogs I scrounged up during college, from l-r there are Ducks, Still Life With Apple And Feather (!!!), A Couple At Night, a Pieta, and a Planetarium. The wood grain papers are some of my favorites, they were packing material for lampshades at an old job of mine. I will use any interesting scrap I can find!Getting a digital copy of this papercraft proved extremely difficult; turns out my new scanner just isn’t up to my standards for papercraft scans, so I had to convince my iPod to take nice photos and then coax them better in photoshop. The diffuse sunlight of about 6:45pm turned out to be exactly what I needed, whew!5x7 inches, completely lost track of how many hours it took.Hey, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind words!! Here, I put together a little diagram showing where I got a bunch of the papers, ‘cuz I love gabbling about it:The papyrus is really real (I love that some people are seeing it as tartan-patterned, what a great bonus!), I bought it in college for my thesis project. The plants are various earthy mulberry papers and papers with leaves embedded, etc. The philodendron on the right is a thick cottony paper that was wrinkled and then painted, so I was able to cut leaves with extra dimension! The books use paper from all across my collection, like scrapbook pages, sample business cards, wrapping paper, more chiyogami and William Morris cards, etc etc. I was so pleased when I found that black woodgrain paper for Crowley’s jeans, and then half the time spent trying to photograph this piece was spent zooming in to make sure the texture was visible! -- source link
