Planning
(1)I started brainstorming on different ideas I could develop while sending my message
(2)started to think of the materials I had available or could use
(3)started the process
Process
I started by grabbing a square piece of would and carving it to get a smother design for what was going to be the base of my project after carving it I painted it brown. I than went on to working with the pins in which I glued them all to each other with crazy glue I decided to use this glue specifically because I did not want to use the hot glue gun which would leave a mark ,this way I would be able to have a clean finish on the component of the leafs. After I glued them I placed them in the freezer to dry up faster. I than pined the leafs to the stick. Lastly I glued the stick to the base for this portion I was forced to have to use the hot glue gun as the crazy glue did not give it much support , I had to make a hole on the base as well.

Meaning
For my project of industrial vs organic I wanted to present the dark side that industrialization is having on nature by forming a tree with pins being industrial objects harming nature witch is the wood stick.

Reflection
Throughout the project I did have some parts that were easier to accomplish and others that were harder as it was easy to paint the wood block and place the pins but I did struggle when I had to glue the leafs as they would constantly be falling apart also when I was carving the wood I would have to push hard while being carefully of not hurting myself but in general I did see this project being successful as I could see the message I wanted to demonstrate right away.
