This recreation of the Playbill for the Broadway smash hit The Phantom of the Opera was commissioned as a Christmas present for theater lover. (My first commission for non friend or relative.)
While the design for this piece is deceptively simple, I actually had to develop several techniques to achieve the desired look: how to glue paper to glass and not have it fall right off as well how to score the heavy water color paper and bend it into shape. I had initially tried my normal layered paper techniques but the results were less than satisfactory so I had to learn to score, fold and bend for a more three-dimensional look. I also had to use a heavier paper so that it could be painted to give the porcelain appearance of the Phantom’s mask. All of the lettering is glued to a separate layer of glass so that it floats above the background.
