Desk of the day 18/5/13

I love seeing other artists and crafter's work in progress shots, and I'm always posting mine on instagram, but sometimes I wish I could take more time to take proper photos of what I'm working on. So, inspired by Cart Before the Horse who take the most wonderful work in progress photos, I've decided to start posting some better quality photos of the things I'm currently working on.

This isn't technically desk of the day, because it's yesterdays desk. I've been working on these Adventure time dolls for a while now, today they're finally ready for me to add the details and varnish them!

As you can see, the matryoshka photo shoot soon turned into a Tofu photo shoot. He's such an attention seeker!

    1. Haha I can't wait to see! Cats just love to photobomb. He's definitely very proud of himself for managing to make it all about him.

  9. I have been watching your progress with these on instagram and they are so darn cute! I love looking at work in progress photos too but am also bad at documenting my own work. I saw this Tim Burton exhibit at the LACMA one time and he was methodical about documenting his process and I started to realize the importance of the process just for history and archival stuffs. Anyway. Love! And love your kitty.

    1. Thank you! I'm awful at keeping sketch books so I figured taking decent quality work in progress shots is the best way to document it. I bet the Tim Burton exhibit was amazing! Very jealous you got to see that! :)

    1. Thank you! He's a sweetie pie but he seems to think he's a Russian Doll, whenever I'm painting them around him he sits next to them like he's one of the set.

  11. I feel like your cat looks like his name would be Tofu, if that makes any sense, hahah. Oh, and you're disgustingly talented.

    1. Thank you! Haha he does suit his name, because he's squishy like tofu and mostly white

    1. Thanks Jessie! They're my fav Russian Dolls so far (possibly because I'm a little adventure time obsessed)

  14. Those are amazing. I showed my boyfriend and his response, "We NEED those!"
    Me, "I'm pretty sure those are already for someone plus, Tofu looks pretty fond of them."

    1. Hehe, Tofu think they're his! They're for an adventure time giveaway I'm doing in August with another awesome blogger TeeToo. I'm just getting them done now cause I'm moving late August so want to make sure everything is ready for the giveaway.

  16. Oh my goodness! These look so great! I can't wait to see the finished dolls! Really nice job, Chantal.
    You're right, Tofu and Marvin could be brothers. He's even got the same little black patch on his chin!
