I found a dead palm tree leaf and decided I wanted to incoorperate it in one of my pieces somehow. To me, it reminded me of a large version of a pea pod so I decided to make it look like one. The first step I took was simply washing it off to clean the dirt off. I then painted it green.
I made out of clay 3 spheres to look like peas to place inside the pea pod. I did this by making two pinch pots and scoring the edges to get them to stay together. I then pocked holes in the bottom to get the inside to dry out.
I then painted them a yellow green color to recreate the actual colors of a pea pod.
Certain spots on the pea pod had been scraped off so I repainted the green back in. I did the same for the peas too.
I then hot glued the peas in to complete the project.
