This new project is one of the most ambitious I’ve crafted. I was unsure of where to categorize it in my ‘gallery’ as it includes papercraft, recycled materials and woodcraft. It’s also the largest piece I’ve made – the frame is 50cm square.
The body of the ship and the seagulls are moulded with paper clay, and the waves formed from torn sheets of paper painted with watercolours. The masts are cut with a scroll saw from scraps of wood and jointed together. The sails are recycled cotton, cut from an old sheet. I tried different experiments to shape the sails as though a strong wind was blowing, before finally using a heavy starch, together with shaped paper supports behind them. The rigging ropes are made from unraveled cotton cord.
The frame is only 4cm deep, so once again I had to massage and adapt my original concept to fit, without losing its 3D perspective. (The original design was a 3-masted ship!)
While I can always identify aspects that could be better, overall I’m quite happy with the final project.

Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
I have realized some important matters through your blog post post. One other subject I would like to mention is that there are several games available on the market designed specifically for toddler age youngsters. They contain pattern identification, colors, wildlife, and styles. These commonly focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep a child engaged without feeling like they are learning. Thanks

I love this Heather! I’ve tried painting these and all the lines and details are quite a challenge. Well done!
Thanks Marlene! I’d never attempt painting as it would need to appear more true to life. The ‘impression’ style suits my crafting better! 🙂
