This shows the development of Stellar and Stellar Light - they are further examples of my paper-inlay work. The complex shapes have all been hand-cut and placed in position. It is the tone or shading on each piece, that creates the overall 3d effect. 

 

I spent a long time thinking about the background colour for each piece. Colour theory suggests that placing a bright or light object on a dull, cooler-toned background will make it stand out more.

The dark gradated background on the monotone shape works particularly well, as you'll see in this short video below - TIP hit the audio button!
