New finds! Brass Skimmer and Lotus Leaves

I came across a curious object the other day and was immediately drawn to its shape. I had been thinking about trying to use seaweed like a papier mache substance and decided to cast the shape of the brass skimmer.

This was then balanced in side the hanging object.

Another fascinating material discovery is the lotus leaf. I'm not quite sure what to do with them, but they have the most amazing vein structure and it is a material i want to experiment with more.
