illustration friday: beneath

I'm working with my dollhouse project again for this week's  illustration friday theme of  "beneath"

Still playing with my character, next challenge is to give her different expressions. I have to figure out how I am going to go about that.  Photoshop with definitely be involved!

For this piece Betty is vacuuming and of course the kitty runs beneath the bed as soon as the vacuum comes out! Our Mabel cat was the model for this kitty.


Here I am playing with a closeup and testing out the macro function on my camera. Not sure which one is my favorite the close up or the full photo image. I like them both!

have a great weekend everyone!

  7. This is such a fun idea, brings me back to when I made a paper dollhouse when I was little. I love the mix of 3D and 2D to create it. I'm just wowed by the idea! :D

  11. What a fun creation. I'm guessing there's no dust under that bed - she looks far too efficient a housewife!

  14. Claudine, this is super adorable! It's giving me inspiration to pull my daughter's out of the storage box and work on it over the winter. Still looking to install lights? Here's a link you may like http://www.ladollshouse.com/lighting-doll-houses.html

  17. So did you end up keeping your same camera and using the macro or is this a new camera? Either way this image looks so much clearer than the fridge picture from before.

    The scene is so adorable!
    I love your work!

    PS - Do you know of any major retailers that are carrying your new stamps? I want some SO bad but can only seem to find them on eBay.
