3d Paper Mushroom Experiments

These experiments were made at the end of January (sorry its another late one)

The first selection of experiments are made using an origami technique called crumpling. I really want to look into this further and perhaps use the technique to create a large amount of multiples somehow attached? Food for thought.....

Paper pulp made from brown paper, shaped and scored. This is really quite effective, I like the idea of doing a series with the lines and textures inside the vessel rather on the outside.......

Small experiment using simply folded handmade paper to create a mushroom shape.

First experiments with embossing mushroom inspired shapes and lines into some handmade cotton linter. These have given me lots more inspiration. Watch this space.......
