jewelry stand

Sorry for not posting here for a while, but I'm on so-called vacation. My exams are coming up next week and the internet is really distracting. But I wanted to show you something I made out of a wooden hand, acrylic paint and paper. My task was to visualize a chapter/keyword/phrase from the book "The Autumn of the Middle Ages" by Johan Huizinga. (This book is very popular among students and teachers in my country)
Death, as first of quattuor hominum novissima, was one of the central themes of late medieval thought, religion and art and in Huizinga's book you'll find the whole chapter about it. I wanted to create something like a jewelry stand that reminds its owner of his short and fragile life.

    OHMYGOD. It's AMAZING. It is so gorgeous, I am humbled to see my necklace displayed on it. The paper, i'm guessing, are the images, but they are seamlessly applied and then the paint along the fingers matches perfectly with it- how? And the pale coral orange nail polish is GENIUS. I would have done something stupid like matched it exactly to the landscape image, the orange earth. The pale orange is brilliant. Ugh, I'm awful with colors. And it looks shiny and antique at the same time! Did you alter the colors after you took the photo? Also- can I keep it at my house for a while?
    (And what does quattuor hominum novissima mean? )

      I graduated not too long ago with a degree in Graphic Design Technology. Right now I study Industrial Design in another city. I have a relatively quiet existence, and I spend my days (and nights) creating everything that pops in my head. A couple years ago i started designing clothes for myself as I couldn't buy clothes that I wanted (and liked). Everything I do is based on moment-to-moment instincts... I love drawing and one day I thought that maybe I should transfer my art on fabrics... Everyone was impressed and encouraged me to make clothes for others so I signed up on Etsy and opened my store.
