Trees, Leaves & Vines...

Iv just been for a little walk around the park and college to gather more photos for my file. During my walk i found the majority of trees had become skeletal, all the leaves had long dropped off, however some were still clinging on... the leaves have retained a beautiful orange tone. 

Also while everything else was gone, ivy still wrapped around trees and buildings bringing colour and life to their surrounding...

Glass Act

While searching for examples of large scale glass etching in preparation for my final piece, I came across this website GLASS ACT. Some of the pieces are beautiful and on a very large scale, I'm sure they used an industrial size tool though!!

More Glass...

 This week i have continued exploring my glass theme. Iv been creating some rough sketches of how i want my etchings and frames to look. Instead of single leaves like before, I have been concentrating on leafy tendrils to flow onto the glass from the frames. 


 I did further tests for my resin frames, I liked the idea of some leaves being positive and some negative so i created a mould so the leaves were raised in the resin. I also tried setting leaves into resin so for some pieces, the frames could have real leaves which then flow into etched leaves.
