Here it is, A Croton Story, Chapter One.
As you can see, the 3D aspect of it really adds a lot. Here’s a detail shot.
Final dimensions 24h x 11w x 1d.
Here are some studio shots.
The stem was stiffened with thick interfacing and heavy stitching. Then, I wet fabric strips with gel medium (collage glue) and wrapped them around it. The result was nice and stiff, just like a stem should be.
I’m super happy with this piece! It required A LOT of experimenting and inventiveness.
Now, I’ve got the techniques down and I’m making a series of these in brighter colors. The fabrics are dyed and I’m making progress. I can’t wait to see them all together.
