Nature Window Display

The window display our Collective is working on goes up tomorrow afternoon at The Lamb Bookshop on Lambs Conduits Street, WC1N.

We've been very excited about working on this project with Ben and Harriet from the lovely independant bookshop. A nature themed/woodland display is what we decided on to catch the imagination of children and adults alike, here's my contribution to the display so far.


I learnt how to make these decorative spheres for this project. 
So easy and very pretty.


Honeycomb paper spheres in different sizes, to be accompanied by fabric bees made by Daisy and wings by myself.


Yummy mushroom textures.  


Wild toadstools from brown wrapping paper and old book pages.


Wire inside the stems means i can bend them around once in the display to make them seem more natural.
Time consuming to make but utterly satisfying once completed.








 Although a lot more basic to make, once attached to the thin wire these butterflies should create movement and flow in the display. Will work so well with Emma's flowers.





 To see Daisy, Lizzy and Emma's work pop over to our Paper Scissor Collective site:

You'll have to be patient and wait til tomorrow evening to see the full window.
