Tiaras, Crowns and Masks oh my

All other projects were put on hold... The teacher I have for two of my classes, decided last week to throw a contest for Halloween at the school. We must make masks /hats/tiaras/ whatever in certain categories and since we are in her classes, she had us do this as a class project. Since I am in two of her classes, I was told to make two, but got inspired and ended up making FOUR. Yes...nuts I know.

Here they are. The contest is later today (Thursday) and we will see how they do. Hopefully they will score me an A+ in class.

This first one is my favorite and kind of off the cuff. I see it as kind of my inner persona.

My teacher came up with the title for this one as "Go to my happy place". It was all based on these paper flowers that an artist named Jeff Rudell makes at http://www.craftstylish.com/item/7515/how-to-make-simple-white-paper-flowers . I have been wanting to try them forever and somehow it turned into this cute hat with a bench and flowers. It is whatever you want it to be.

This mask is based on my last project that I have not posted the final version on here. It was a equal love (girls with girls, boys with boys and boy and girl kissing poster). If you see it it makes more sense, but basically on the actual pearled mask is part of the faces and on the veil you can very faintly see the rest of the drawing. Not sure about this one yet...

Here it is with the veil pulled up.

Here is my ode to my color fundamentals class or as I call it the Queen of Color. It is a tiara/crown with the color wheel in little sparkly spinning wheels of color.

Complementary Vibrations Color Project

Here is one of my newest color class projects.

Here is a little bit of how complmentary vibrations work....

Complementary Vibrations - This optical mixture is made from opposing or complementary hues. In a very fine pattern, a complementary pair such as yellow and violet would neutralize each other in the same manner as they would in a pigment mixture. If a courser textured mosaic is formulated it is called a complementary vibration. Our eye wants to see complementary colors simultaneously for visual balance. However, when we do see the pure complementary hues simultaneously something unexpected occurs. The complements seem to repel each other causing an illusion of movement or visual vibrations. Difficult to stare at for any length of time. High saturation (pure) opposing hues vibrate in the most dramatic fashion.
