Description Final piece for the project to illustrate a part of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas.

My characters are blind old captain cat and two ghosts. My first attempt at a proper 3D piece. Not sure how much I like it. It doesnt look like how it looked in my head when I thought up the idea, but I dont have the time or the inclination to sit and mess about with it until it does.

Its made from an old book, card and wire. The words coming out of the book I sat for HOURS cutting individually out of the book with a craft knife and sticking them to a piece of copper wire with double sided tape. EXTREMELY tedious. Also you cant see on this picture, but the skeletons move, I used thin wire to make hinges on their joints.

Wow, this looks really good. I wish I could see it in person - I did see you making the waves, I wondered what they were for. A very original idea, great work.

Thankyou! I wanted to make more waves for it but couldnt think of a way to include them. Have to save them for something else
