PROGRESSION

I started by sketching every part of the pinecone I could. Know your element.


Then I did the same with cardboard. Know your medium. Then I looked at both sketches together and tried to find how the two forms could overlap, what were the similarities in the forms?


Started with the stem and main structure.


We were told to make it as much like our item as possible, so I took that and went with it. This is the bottom, which no one will see unless the lift the pinecone. But I know.


Starting the branches, the base took about 6-8 hours.





the base finished and the branches starting to show.


Branches, SO much longer to go. What to do?


Cut a foot off! YAY progress!


4 more hours and still to go...
