Taking pieces of my final idea #2 I wanted to explore with clay again but by trying to make 3D leaf forms from it and painting them.
8 wanted to see if the idea could possibly be developed further by making these leaf forms, though I wasn’t really sure about the outcomes of them.
Because I used Air dry clay, a lot of the leaves were fragile and cracked easily once I started to paint them and hang them with string to dry.
Though, that lead me to consider the possibility of making a piece of work as a suspension piece for the final work. And to also think about using multiples so I could start to play with compositions and scale.
