Starting a New Composition

Today I started arranging materials for the next piece.
The driftwood came first.
Its shape usually decides where the composition begins, and this one is special — very curved, almost like a small wave.
For this work I also chose one of my rare finds — beautiful green polypores. Their colour is soft but surprisingly vivid.
Then I tried a few stones, some of them partly covered with green algae, moss and a small forest mushroom with a tiny hole in the cap.
At this stage I mostly observe shapes, balance and spacing.
I move the elements many times before deciding where they might belong.
For now I am only testing the structure and seeing how the different textures work together.
The process is slow, but this is the most important part.
