The main theme of sonnet 19 I want to explore is preservation. So I have 'built' this little bonsai like tree with paper autumn leaves out of a shakespearean play. I plan to place this in a bell jar to make it more like a preserved scientific specimen. Yes that is blue tak on the tree... im not confident enough to glue them yet... still draft!!
This looks great too. Is it Shakespeare that you've cut the leaves from? Could you have the text on the leaves feature the themes you are dealing with in this sonnet? You could design the page and age it (I know how you like tea staining...) then cut the sections you need? I feel like I should be rewarded for trying to read it – whenever there is this little text, you expect it to be meaningful.
