This is an experiment from some summer playing, using straws as big bugle beads. I loved this technique and it's growth-y look, and the ease of using it to build up a textured surface. Using the foam also meant i could use pins, and the structure would be more stable.
Polystyrene is proving to be an excellent base, plus I can sculpt it into strange organic shapes to work onto later. The suffolk puffs are made from crisp packets (not the easiest material to stitch). I love suffolk puffs, they are such a satisfying shape and get great folds. The metallic surfaces caught the light and acted like a growth-y disco ball.
...And these are some more plays with organic/uncomfortable/excessive formations and shapes.
