Are these made out of metal?
Nope.
I have been developing my acetate work, making my work more about the rust again.
I wasn’t able to make my sculptures out of the actual metal very easily so I’ve been using my photos of the rust instead. I have printed the photos onto acetate and then stuck copper tape on the back giving it a gorgeous metallic look.

Sculptural Developments
My lecturer was very kind to give me a sheet of pewter to play with. It was very flexible so I was easily able to recreate my paper sculptures out of it.
I’m really pleased with how I’ve developed my work but the problem with these sculptures is that they don’t always want to stand the right way up by themselves!
I’ve also been playing with copper tape recently (yes, the kind you use to keep slugs away from your plants) and I had thisĀ idea of sticking it in strips onto cartridge paper and then making more paper sculptures out of it. I actually love the lines this created on the sculpture.
Copper tape is actually really fun to make things with. Check out these sweet crumpled copper earrings I made a little while ago.
