“Abraham’s Sacrifice” Easter Card

Isaac’s altar is made from a cardboard box, covered in tinfoil. His legs are plastic bottles and his body is a tin coffee can, with an oval-shaped tin container on top. His arms and nose are made from cardboard. I used a plastic yogurt container for his neck and a plastic container for his head. Abraham’s arms, hand and body are made from cardboard. His legs are aluminium cans, with plastic yogurt containers for boots. I wrapped a piece of cardboard around his waist, for his robe. His neck is a paper cup and is head is a plastic container with a piece of cardboard for his nose. His dagger is a plastic bottle, connected to a syringe cap which is wrapped in tinfoil, for the blade. The Angel’s hands, arms, legs and feet are made from cardboard. Its body is a plastic tray with newspaper for its neck. I used a small pie-tin for the head, along with cotton-balls for hair. Its wings are made from playing cards. I drew and painted all of their details, by hand. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art [2006 // 2022]
