Wire/Paper Flowers

Using a mouldable wire to create leaf shapes and filled them in using paper or masking tape. This I found to be very satisfying process and I really liked the outcome. I would like to return to this again to try painting the leaves maybe with watercolours. I would like to build on this further. The wire was very easy to manipulate and mould into shapes I desired.
