Ivy


I am currently working on another concentration piece that is an ivy like plant that has purple flowers on it. It's been a struggle for me to preserve the color in the plants with the adhesive seel, so it's a possibility that I will be using fake flowers. I really don't like the idea of this because I enjoy working with an element like wire that is someone easy to form into it's own shape and the contrast of organic materials inwhich you can only do so much. So my problem is either using fake flowers and giving up the feeling of working with nature, or continuing to work with live flowers and leaves. If I do live plants then the piece will only last in time for the picture.
