In response to the theme of found objects, I made a brooch by using takeaway box. Inspired by Kharukik, a Japanese artist who excels at creating stunning artworks out of packaging boxes. (Kharukik https://www.instagram.com/kharukik97/) Based on the specificities of the package, he can build several very complicated models. I'd like to try my handwork at this theme, despite my meager abilities and inability to deliver a finished piece as good as his. By cutting the takeaway box I showed that the soft flowers are not well represented by the cardboard case, which can make the work seem rigid. But I managed to get as much as I could.
Similar work has been produced by DIY Life Club, whose works of handicrafts explores this theme by the secondary creation of objects. (DIY Life Club https://www.pinterest.com.au/diylifeclub/video_pins/)
