Sun, Moon, and Stars

P1040164

A while ago I captured a bit of the night sky into my constellation project! As you can see, I made a personification of the sun, the moon, and I made five stars to complement them. The sun was particularly satisfying to make, and it was quite advanced. From a normal eight pointed star, I sculpted the face. In order to make the nose, I had to turn a complicated mass of the paper inside out and shape it into a conical shape! I persuaded a layer of the paper to shift down, to put the nose in the correct place. The moon was much easier to fold, and the end result was just as stunning as the sun. It was made from a simple fish base.
