I got a book out from the library on lichens but also found one on funghi, some of the images in which are lovely. I thought that the clusters of small mushrooms could be reproduced in the metal workshop, in a similar way to how the acorn cups were produced in the workshop. The mushrooms are pictured at the base of a tree and likewise I thought a metal representation could be placed similarly; at the base of a lamp or coat stand.
Another image that inspired me was the bracket funghi which would translate very easily into shelving. I had seen birch trunks featured in someone's home in a recent issue of Elle Decoration and I like the idea of fixing shelving to the log in order to emulate the funghi. Shelving produced using a material like copper or brass would provide an interesting contrast but it may be problematic fixing the shelves to the log without ruining its appearance.
