A Place for a Leaf Project


I chose a Wandering Jew plant leaf for my project because of the unusual color of the leaf and it's boat like shape. I started out with many different shaped containers from a boat shape to a bowl shape and finally
decided to copy the actual shape of the leaf itself. I took colored paper with a orange hue to it, orange on
one side and green on the other side to envelop the leaf. I used two leaves which are actually the shape of the
leaves on the plant. I cross the envelope shapes together and notched them at the bottom then I took another
piece of decorative paper which looked like wood and shaped it in a triangle with the lines going veritical
to resemble a block of wood with the plant growing out of it.
