Final Twig Project

A close-up of the Final piece. I zoomed in on the yarn woven in & out of the paper to hold it together in the "tipi" shape. Overall, my project had a similar shape to that of a "tipi" but I strayed away from that stereotype and created my own touches. The sticks were all painted black except one that remained a light color to let it stand out. Underneath, where you could see the sticks all branched out, I left them unpainted so as to see their "natural" look. I left the paper white, but used colored yarn to add some punch. The binding agent was a black hair-tye type piece which allowed some movement with the sticks but not too much, so they would still remain close-knit as a bunch.

"A place for a 12 Twigs"

A step further....I chose to construct a "tipi" shape by simply cutting and folding the paper into itself. The yarn/thread will be woven into the paper in such a way that can possibly connect the twigs with the paper as one. This shape evolved from the previous "tipi" to create more of a "place for 12 twigs" rather than simply a "tipi" in itself. By developing this shape, it will give the twigs more attention rather than simply using them as an accessory.

"A place for a 12 Twigs"

Not quite in its final stages; this "model" helped me visualize the actual "tipi" shape more effectively. I originally chose to display the twigs on the outside of the model, but later decided to keep all twelve bunched together on the inside. The only binding agent used was tape, but later will be something more strong and sturdy.
