A Second Croton Leaf

After making my first 3D Croton leaf, I was excited to make some more. This is A Croton Story: Chapter 2.

Can you tell that the two leaf halves are curled? I love that!

I modified my assembly technique this time, improving both the construction speed and the appearance. I love that too!

This time, I dyed some fabric with a leaf in mind and I think it works very well. (I did this with the “dirty printing” technique.)

The stem is stiff and also 3D.

In my last dying session I dyed quite a few fabrics with additional crotons in mind. I can’t wait to make a whole selection!
