Xeroxed Gampi
paper was perfect

for my black and
white tree photos
to use as
embellishments.

To further an
earthier, natural

color scheme, I
again used found
objects – dying an
old rope,

crumpled brown
paper, and
adding wooden
curtain rings – as

an ornament for a
unifying look.
Cutting thin strips
off sheets of cork,

I made an edge
design with my
wood burning
tool, which

became trim
around the hats.

The big challenge
came when I
decided I wanted
the sculpture to

have a shellac/
wax burn texture!
One major hurdle
was the way my pieces were constructed, how did I not ruin areas

by starting a fire?
