Hello friends, here I am again in the #onchainart community, today I bring you a true work of art and the important thing is that all the materials were given to me by nature, it is the work of a sunflower made with dry palm branches. In this work I try to keep the natural colors of the materials such as palm bracts, stems and leaves. This idea came to my mind when I saw this material with a natural shine and I decided to make this flower, I tell you that when I finished making the painting I was happy for this achievement, I hope that with this publication other people can turn around Dry the branches and the leaves to turn them into useful things, because for many that is garbage.
A sunflower flower made from dry palm tree branches.
To make this work I used a wooden plank I cut it in a rectangular shape with measures of 0.34 mx 0.17 m in this piece I am going to place all the elements that will make up my work of art, but as this work I am going to do it with materials with dry branches of some palm trees, I need the surface of this leaf to also be natural, for this I decided to upholster the wooden sheet with the membrane or fibrous fabric that supports the palm branches, I did all this by cutting small pieces and gluing them with white glue.
- Frame of this work: I made these frames with the palm leaf stems and then glued them with glue stick.
Realization of the sunflower flower with the membrane of the palm leaf.
- The first thing I did was design the petals of the sunflower flower on a paper that served as a template, I made this drawing in a circular shape and then I copied it on the membrane that I obtained from the palm leaf.
- Now I am going to place between the petals of the piece that I already have, other petals, but in the back, that is, the flower will have another row of petals, these petals can be made into pieces and we are placing them one by one .
- Friends, I already made the flower with its petals, but the center of the flower or pistil where its seeds are located would be missing, this part of the flower was made using a fibrous mesh type cloth from the palm plant, I placed this material in a round container and compress it to make it compact and round.
I made the stem of the sunflower with a stick from the palm branch, to this stem I placed two dry leaves of the tree apamate, these leaves are very resistant to humidity and heat, they even take a long time to decompose . Sunflower leaves have ragged edges, so I decided to make these teeth on the edge of these leaves.
To finish, I will place all the elements inside the frame, I will fix them with a silicone stick, starting with the leaves on the stem, then I will place the flower petals and the round piece in the center of the flower. At the foot of the stem I am going to place some dry leaves so that they appear to have fallen from the branch.
