The right angle to view my "I Got Wood" cube from

Hope it's not a problem that these have to be viewed from a certain angle. It's kinda fun to have it in hand and move it around to see how the image changes when not looking at it correct.

 

Scale : 1.25"

 

This is my "2D drawing on a 3D object" thing again. After sudden inspiration at the Salvador Dali Museum in St Petersburg last weekend, I finally settled on a subject for my "I Got Wood" project.

 

So.... What this is is a 1.25" cube of (poplar?) wood. I used ink, charcoal, pencil and watercolor to complete this. Both images are from Salvador Dali's painting, The Persistence of Memory. They aren't exact, but when working with a 1.25" canvas, you have to cut me some slack!

 

I kept holding on the the cube for weeks, not knowing what I was going to do, when last night it hit me to do this. I'm pretty happy with it. The funny thing is, I spent 3/4 of the time on the melting clock, and didn't really plan the back portion, but I almost like the back best! I think it's just the colors...
