I kind of defocused the background to give it sort of a depth of field. Happy with that effect. The black was cut from the same material as the engraving and glued on top. That also gives a bit of dimension. The cake and the lens are sharpie colored white glued on top. All framed up in black acrylic.
My Son owns a couple pieces of the artist’s originals, which is where I was introduced to Deviant Art.
Too easy to pick out my black sharpie lines huh? I’m going to have to go back with my rapidograph and clean that up. Too bad I didn’t cut them with the other, I thought drawing them in might help with the depth perception. Man I’m having fun.
Edit; Bad picture too, there is a reflection of the rafter on the ceiling along the bottom.
I like the depth of field look you achieved with the defocused background. Very nicely done. I didn’t even notice the color in the piece until you mentioned it, but when I blow it up, looks great!
black acrylic.
