unique wed souvenir


now here's the video of our custom-made souvenir for our wedding. Designed & created by my certified artist hubby- tristan a. beronilla. The meaning of this figure isn't that important, it's up to you on how you perceive it.  But for him, it's like a woman (me) envelopes the man (him) with her great love.  We actually adapt the caption "to catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job" by simone de beauvoir suggested by my cousin- Kate Tupasi.  Tris' inspiration is the wave-like resin weapon of naruto figure toy we just wish to buy- that's why he come up with the slanting position just like a waves. Some may say its a Mother & Child figure, well it can be. -2 in one hehe. It's his first time to use a clear cast as his medium. Their prof doesn't encourage them to use that i think because of its strong smell- just like a solvent. The characteristic of this resin is like a glass; the reason why he chose the medium despite of it's toxicity. which made it difficult to manage.  At first he can't think of an image to compose. He started molding a clay, he also tried a plaster of paris for his positive/negative mold. The amount of tint he put is base on trial & error. Then he come up with this image. woot! so surprising. He used a silicone mold so that it could last. So just for once he made it for our wedding presence!!!!
btw, i made the invitation myself. & i'm proud of the outcome aheje. & here i learned adobe photoshop a bit!
