For our first project, we focused on the idea of joinery, but with natural artifacts. In order to join them, we needed to use a linear material such as string or thread. I didn't have an initial idea, but decided to pick up some items and try to match them up according to similarities or tried to find some contrasting elements that would work. I had a pine and a bush branch with a long piece of grass as the linear material. My concept was natural swing, but it didn't work out like i planned because the piece of grass came loose the way it was attached to the branch. So on the second time around, I choose to pick new materials, but keep my intention to find a natural item to join the other two together. I saw an interesting piece of bark laying on the ground under a oak tree. I happened to walk by a bush with yellow and green colors and instantly thought of the trees you would see on the side of a mountain during the change into the fall season. I decided to join them together with a piece of vine with the leaves still attached because it was flexible to tie and it tied in the "mountainous" theme I had as a concept.
The way that you might look at my item depends on what side is more interesting to you. From my class consensus, it looked better with the piece of branch in the back of the bark to contrast of the color.
