Making Clouds

I constructed these three artificial clouds using toy stuffing/wadding, moulded around bottles and styrofoam to give it a base shape. It was quite fun making these clouds as there is no rhyme or reason when doing so,  I could be as random as i wanted to. They are not the most stable of props but they will work well for a background prop for my upcoming shoot. Suspended from fishing wire means the string won’t be visible from a distance- so the clouds will look naturally suspended in the air. I plan on using a bright blue backdrop to mimic an artificial sky, so i needed to think of a way i could create rain/ the effect of water droplets still visible. I decided to again use the fishing wire to create the direction the rain, and painted beads in different shades of blue to mimic rain. I am still unsure if they will be visible against the backdrop- but I can make them stand out more in post production.
