Paper BlossomIndependent Exploration September 2010 As an exploration into the recycling of used paper, I broke down office paper into pulp and then created several sheets of homemade paper. Once the sheets were removed from the frames they were draped over wine bottles to achieve a petal-like form. I then hand dyed each sheet while on the wine bottle and left them to dry. By cutting the petals to various sizes, adding a semi-gloss finish, and then attaching them to concentric wire rings, a glowing blossom is the result. |
