What is a TOPIARY? The word refers to the horticultural art of training live trees, bushes and shrubs by trimming and clipping to maintain or represent clearly defined shapes.
In our class we talked about types of topiary, who has them, where they are found and how they are made. In order to replicate this project, we will be using the following materials: chicken wire (poultry fencing), wire, twine, and tissue paper. Here is a link to tissue paper topiary. Check it out!
This is an example taken from Dick Blick Art Supplies of what your topiary COULD look like. Material use, inventiveness, creativity and imagination are all big parts of this project. Let's have fun and make a cool looking tissue piece!
