Paper forest

In all though I am pretty happy with my paper forest outcome. I feel like the ground on it was pretty plain. The cardboard box looked a bit tatty so I decided it would look better in a wooden box and it still links with using material from a tree. <br>

To display it for the show I just wanted to attached it to the wall though it would have worked on a plinth as well.
If I displayed and made a paper forest again I would make a series of them, probably about three.

The private view!

I feel like the private view went well. A high light for me was wen a visitor asked if I was simone and asked how I did it.
My family and friends enjoyed it though I think they forgot to write in the comments book.

Done!

Its strange to feel more or less done for the academic year.

Paper forest/woods completed?

So here a photo of my paper forest in a box, I quite like the outcome and how the blackground makes everything stand out. I had a conversation with a fellow class mate Keturah about putting lighting in it with a touch and tracing paper. It's something I will try.

Floating feathers

This is the print I said I would upload since I've already got a picture of the plate on here.
I'm really happy with this one; it's one of my favourites. I like it because it look like a photo of feathers floating down.

I have enough prints to make a mini collection book of my findings in a woods or to mount some, even though they're samples I think I'll use them to be like a recording of findings. I still might do more on my 1st week back while I'm getting images onto a screen for printing. It's all go!!

Idea

I really want to use wire and modrock to make a small tree like a bonsai tree but I probably won't since I've got enough to do but I'm tempted. I still got a week+ left of holiday so who knows

Papercutting

I did this paper cut with a shadow in mind. I've done several different paper cut which are either, cutting out the positive or negative area but all are flat so for this I wanted it to be more 3D.
I like the outcome because it cast a good shadow that adds to the piece and also because the out cut background enhances it.
