proccess of my place for 12 twigs

When I was first assigned this project to make a place or box for 12 twigs i was really stumped at first I really did not know what to do. However after going out and finding twigs I found some twigs that had pine cones on them. I really wanted to make my place in resemblance to the pine cones. However after I tried to make the model it turned out differently than I had hoped. What I had made was a half circular object made out of 12 identical pieces. Even though the model did not turn out like I had hopped it would it did work for some other twigs that I had found. After going to critique I decided that I needed to reevaluate the place of my twigs in the piece. So I decided to put one twig in each slot of the 12 pieces. After this i found that the twigs being on the outside of the model did not work as well as I would have liked for it to. So i decided to move the twigs to the inside of the model. I found that the twigs being on the inside of the model worked a lot better than it did on the outside. After going to another critique I decided that I needed to reevaluate the size and shape of my model I had made the model large and I decided to reduce the size because I felt that it made for a better crafted project. I also made 90 degree creases in all of the 12 pieces so that the object has a flat side. I tried a few different bonding agents for this project first I used scotch tape however this was not very attractive so I tried using liquid nails but this looked even worse than the scotch tape. So I decided to use double sided tape which worked well until I got to my final model and I was using a thicker paper so I had to use mirror hanger tape so in the end this worked really well. As far as color I was going to use color but i decided that it was going to take away from the project and the twigs so I used white but this was a little to stark so I ended up using a gray neutral color which helped to soften it a little bit. In the end I think that my project was successful and I am very satisfied with the end results.
