E.
Cut out the pieces from sheets 1 to 4 as shown in the instructions above.
The black dot are indicators for the shaping we will explain them later.
The left over pieces on the left side of the instruction sheets might help
you to locate pieces.
Take special notice of the scoop (the curved 2 ended arrow). The reason for
the scoop is to create a line of continuity. If you scoop a little extra
into the piece, as shown by the arrow, it will soon be covered up by the
overlapping piece.
NOTE:
The instructions allow for the scoop, so
follow them exactly. The numbers beside each piece indicate its assembly
order.
F.
Colour the edges with the appropriate, slightly moistened,
water colour pencil, as shown in photograph opposite.

Piece No.1 Sheet 1
Remove piece No.5 from No.1. Set No.5 aside until the fifth piece to go on.
The areas to concentrate shaping on are indicated by a black dot as shown on
the above black and white instructions.
Etch
veins on the leaves that are indicated by a black dot. To Etch (impress
deeply), place the printed surface upwards on the soft shaping mat. Using
the shaping tool press firmly but gently along the lines that you wish to
highlight e.g. veins on leaves, folds in dresses, eyes, lines down trees,
bricks and pavers.

Shape
(stretching out the fibres in the paper causing a rounded effect). Shape things
to look as natural as possible by gently stretching the paper with a shaping tool.
Example" a tree trunk is a cylinder shape" so place your shaping tool on the back
of the tree so that it lies down the trunk and roll it from side to side. This
should be done on a soft shaping pad. "Balls are round" so start on the back in
the middle and slowly shape outwards in circular motions. Boxes have flat sides and sharp
edges so etch down the corners and fold back the sides but do not shape.
H.
Still on piece No.1, turn piece over and place it on the shaping mat. Shape on the back
of the piece, using the rounded end of the tool, either side of the etch lines.
Don't press too heavily as you will crinkle the edges of the paper.
