To create this piece, I traced the typeface for my piece (which is called Bondoni), and I transferred the letter-form onto cardboard and cut it out using a blade. I used one cut-out piece of the letter-form for the front face, and I used another cut-out piece for the back. The sides, which connect the front face to the back piece, are made out of card paper, which still gives support and structure to the letter-form, but it allows more flexibility, which was needed to create the curves for the curved bows of the "B".
Once the structure was created, I cut out rectangle pieces of light green paper and stuck them on, layering them like Post-Its. As the pieces reach further down the typeface, I began to start using light green crepe paper, and as it began reaching the bottom of the typeface, I cut out parts of the bottom of the "B", and suspended the crepe paper pieces with thread. I did all of this to show as if the "B" (or should I say, "Bank"!) is falling apart and becoming more fragile as it goes from cardboard, to suspended crepe paper.
Here's hoping it all goes well tomorrow!
