Island time

Designer: Kevin Brindley

Submitted on September 15, 2010

One part clock, one part shadow box... all Neenah Paper. Since we all daydream about vacation, the inspiration for this design stems from the question we ask ourselves over and over... "How much longer until vacation?" This 3D clock was constructed entirely from ESSE® Papers (Black, Sapphire, Cardinale, and Arancio - all texture), with a little bit of tape and a few dabs of glue. Here's to vacation starting soon...

Kevin: Looks great. I could use a vacation right now. Glad you elevated the paper from the background. And the shadows are perfect. Just as they would be if the sun was where you placed it.

Kevin,rnrnThis is a fantastic design. I love the balance, and the sublties in the color selection/scheme. Especially impressive is the depth you attained by the addition of the two smaller spheres. Great work man.rnRay

Kevin,rnWhat a unique kind of art--seemingly part paper machier, part sculpture! You have some real talent there, ever thought of doing more of it?
