The costume has been dismantled, and the mask is too fragile to endure for long… but for now I have The Whole Forest in a basket…

Halloween
My Whole Forest (not just a tree) consisted of many many leaves treated with Paverpol, two homemade brooches (one tree bark & one treated fabrics cut as a maple leaf & further embellished), various leaf strewn scarves, the mask, a homemade leaf earring, a stone necklace, and a branching & webbed basket of forest creatures (well two singing birds, a hedgehog, & a tiny black cat).

…should stay in Art Class?
Halloween
Two fabric formed
I think the limbs are just too narrow for the medium, and these will be very fragile & may break immediately, TBD. It was very difficult to get the cement mortar into the arms, hands, feet & ankles. The weight & stress of hanging the material pulls sections tight and it is necessary to poke & push material into the channels. So very much an experiment to see if this scale can work, or if I need larger & thicker forms!
