Display Case Part 2!!

So after talking about it with my instructor, I began making my final model out of chipboard. Since my original idea was to display only one lipstick per tier, I had to revamp my layers a bit to add for 3 more (thats 4 total) per tier of my "lipstick cake"

Somehow in my measurements, I went a little wrong. My display case turned out a bit topsey-turvier then planned but that was a mistake I was proud to make. In the end, I felt it really made the lipsticks jut out more and highlighted them on each tier. My scale was a bit off...still not sure when that happened but maybe somewhere between chipboard and plaster...

I plastered useing sheets of fabric with plaster on them (like a guaze) that I carefully dipped in water and wrapped my chipboard model in. Of course we're never as carefull as we first seem and a lot of sanding went into trying to get my edges nice a smooth!!



I then painted the whole model my gunmetal blue color, to stick with my color scheme and add a pop to the model.

I really went back and forth between doing the red top. Part of me thought it looked super chic and the other half thought it was just a little too barbie. I'm glad I stuck with it though because especially after the lace detailing on the sides, it really brought the whole design and concept together and reminded my customer what we were selling.

I used a new (and beautiful) lace pattern that was very similar to my case as a stencil to spray paint the lilac lace design through.
