Mushroom Jar
For this project, I aimed to make a stash jar in the shape of a mushroom or toadstool. I used an array of materials to build the structure, but ultimately used polymer clay and acrylic paint to achieve the design.

Lid construction
Building up the lid for the jar to resemble the top of a toadstool. Materials used: Cardboard, aluminium foil and tape.
03
Sculpting the body - door
I started decorating the body of the jar by adding a door to the front of it. I wanted the door to look like it was made of wood, with stones framing it.
04
Sculpting the body - moss
Here, I started adding texture by adding little vines and clumps of moss to decorate around the body of the jar.
05
Sculpting the body - window
As the side and back were feeling a bit empty, I added a small window. I also framed it with some stones to make it look more cohesive with the design.
