Papercraft Printed Templates

My obsession with plants was fueled by being stuck at home all the time. Having my plants to take care of helped me get through the last year of covid, and I love watching them grow. On the flip side, I feel extremely detached from my art practice because I haven't been able to work with clay for an entire year now. This is the longest I've gone without touching clay since I was introduced to ceramics in 2016. I chose to make a monstera leaf and a vase for this project to combine these two realities that have influenced my mental health during covid. Using rhino to create a vase was comforting and I'm looking forward to bringing it to life in 3D with paper. My monstera leaf has overlapping tabs so to rectify that I'm going to cut out two leaves and do opposite cuts so I have every tab necessary to put it together. I plan to attach pipe cleaners to the built paper leaves as stems and this will allow me to display them in the vase. 

I know there's overlap with the outer left panel for the vase but that's just the 0.25in outline and it worked out fine when I printed it.
