Black and white - before layer separation  Final version with all images flipped to face the same way... yellow base layer, pink middle, blue top (probably just a proposal for a print now but these are similar to the colours the riso would have produced) I plan to take some ideas from this to develop a narrative focused on consumerism - need to think about audience etc to determine the format i want my narrative to be written in (zine, book)

Throughout this project i have been trying to make functional items using paper pulp that also look like a desirable object. It was a bumpy start with all my samples falling to pieces and therefor not very functional. At this final stage in the project i feel like i have overcome a lot of challenges and have finally achieved something that is durable, functional and aesthetically pleasing. Although i would have liked to be further on in this project by this stage, I didn't anticipate how tricky it would be to find a technique and 'recipe' that would really work. Below is my final sample for PULP, a vase slip made with recycled printer paper, hand painted and held together by a simple running stitch. The video below demonstrates how the slip works. This is something I really want to continue developing in unit X, making more shapes to cover different objects such as wine bottles, plastic water bottles etc. to make what would be rubbish into something decorative
