Flowered Basket for The Cradle Project





I finally finished the sculpture for The Cradle Project. I used different colored and textured cardboard boxes. I just saved cereal, tissue, and other boxes for about 2 months. I used an oval base instead of my usual circles to be more representative of an egg in the mother's womb. Everything had to be scrap material so the stand is made from cereal boxes that are wrapped in grocery bags. Really, the only part I purchased was the oval base that acts as a stand and weight, which I wrapped in with grocery bag paper as well. It looks small in the photograph but the sculpture alone is 17 inches round and 7 inches tall. With the base it is 30 inches.
