| Sketching I At first I wanted to create a place made of three pieces of paper to suspend the leaf in midair. That later chanced to also adding a basket-like structure at the bottom but I couldn't find a good way to hold the paper together and still add the cut-out vein design I wanted. |
 |
| Sketching II Then I decided that instead of suspending the leaf I wanted to create individual strands of paper to cushion the leaf. |
 |
| Design I My first design used two pieces of paper to make four strands that went in between the points of the leaf. |
 |
| Design II For this design I reversed the paper so instead of where the two strands crossed being under the leaf, it is now on top. |
 |
| Final Design I used the same technique from Design II but added another strand so there would be a strand of paper coming from each point of the leaf and one where the stem would have been. I also used the same design from Design I to push a vein design into the paper. |
