A home in the woods

I went for a walk in the woods and I collected some interesting things I found there. Later at home I put some clay on a canvas and arranged some leaves and twigs on top, then I covered it with pva glue to make an interesting image. When it was dry it looked like a forest floor. I laid a twig on and some bark and then it started looking like the perfect cave home for a bear. I added more things like sand, rock, moss and twigs to build a habitat for the bear and then I made a brown bear with clay and painted it. I put him in his new home in the woods. Bears are one of my favourite animals so I loved creating this mini habitat.
