\"Assembling<\/p>\n

Photo 1:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0I cut out small circles of paper to serve as the base of the lichens, so that I’d be able to position the finished paper lichen wherever I wanted on the book. I started gluing from the outside in, and I left the edges of each little frond unglued so that they would be able to have some dimension.<\/p>\n

Photo 2:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0Here I’m about 2\/3 of the way done with the lichen – I laid it out without gluing first, so that I’d have an idea of what I wanted it to look like, but I also had a bit of variation. I’m using acid-free PVA glue to glue the paper together.<\/p>\n

Photo 3:<\/strong> Here’s a finished lichen – I \u00c2\u00a0liked holding it! It was like a strange mold colored flower, and it was light as a feather. I made three large lichens, (about 3″ in diameter) two small lichens (about 2″ in diameter) and a bunch of tiny lichen bits. I was inspired by Chelsea’s layering technique that she uses on her lichen wall art<\/a>, which you can see below:<\/p>\n
