Hazel Edwards
Hazel Edwards – United Kingdom
Fire and Ice
Category: Modern
Description
My entry is based on the fusion of fire and ice, the Fire melts the gold making it liquid which in turn returns to a solid form when in contact with ice.
Materials
- 3d printer pen
- Blue and white plastic
- Gold spray
- Millinery wire
- Comb
- Thread
Techniques
- I used a 3D printer pen to draw out the snow flake on a wooden hat block, then drew the blue back on the same block, reversing it in the centre to create the dimple.
- The concave snowflake allows the hat to be seen through, keeping it light and airy.These were fixed together using the pen.
- The “fire” was free drawn in 3 layers, sprayed gold and attached using the pen to fuse all the layers.
- A headband was made from millinery wire and wrapped in ribbon and glued to the reverse with a comb attached.
