Week 8 Projects

                                                          Visual Journal Box
This week I finally completed my box! I have been working on it since the end of December so it feels relay good to finally have it done. my box is based off the ideas of visual journaling. Each side is designed so it has its own personality and is unique. The inside is a light peach color to match the stitching around the box. The box is covered with modg podge to give it a shiny finish and to make it more stable. After working on a my box for such a long time and putting so much creativity and effort into it I want to love it and be satisfied with the outcome. But somehow I am not. I feel the box turned out to big and it is acquired, the lid on the top dose not allow for movement as their would be if their was no lid, but without the lid it looks incomplete. I am disappointed that my vision of a journaled box could not be transferred into a reality.

Handmade Paper Bowls

I also completed a few bowls. these are made out of handmade paper and set in a mold to create their shape and covered with modg podge to add strength.

                                                                   Leaf Bowl
This bowl is made out of green paper pulp with yarn pieces in it. I covered it with modg podeg mixed with tea and add some dried leaves to the bottom for decoration


                                                            Feather Tray
This bowl was made out of white paper pulp and tea leaves, I molded the pulp in a square baking dish to give it its shape. Feathers where stuck to the bowl with modg podge  for decoration

                                                                      Tea Cup
To form this bowl i took pieces of handmade paper and wrapped them around a small cup. On the inside are plastic flowers covered with modgepodeg to give this cup a interesting surprise.




                                                               Floppy Bowl
To create this unique shape i molded Orange parer pulp around a bowl I created  out of clay.

                                                               Pink Bowl
This bowl was created out of pink paper pulp and  molded inside a small bowl. It has  modge podged flower pictures covering the outside
