ANNE CAME ROUND monday morning and we filled the copper with fabric and paper tied up with leaves. i decided to take di fogwell's suggestion of origami on board, and downloaded diagrams for an envelope and a crane.
i was making them in heavy watercolour paper so that was tricky but the hilarious thing was that as i became more confused by the instructions and the origami got thicker and thicker, i realised i was trying to make the crane and not the simple envelope :0)
at which stage we stopped trying to fold multiple layers of paper and decided it was a pelican ! it's in the copper wrapped up with leaves so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
i'm overprinting on
