6 - "the pearl and the dove"

This is another assemblage project as a relief style sculpture. I gathered cotton balls, loose bits of string, and old candy wrappers as my main supplies. I used cardboard as the base to attach the cotton balls to. In the center of the bird, I added the loose bits of string and twisted the candy wrappers to create the shape I wanted. I also had a fake gem that I painted white to resemble a pearl. I painted the cotton balls and string a dark brown.
