| I think I am going to start making and selling trees for a living, I love making them, they are fairly easy to sell when I try and I am out of room on the diorama so I have to have a place to put them so I can keep making more! Here is a new tree, it is a black pine and it is about 15 inches tall, I really like the look of it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]These are the dragon trees that I have been working on for such a long time, up until now I could not make a foliage set that I was happy with. The first sets were too thick and later sets wilted while I was trying to harden the clay in the oven. The ones I did with air drying clay were too thick and when I made them thinner wouldn't hold the shape. This foliage was made for an artificial plant and I adapted it by cutting and shaping the foliage to fit the look of the dragon trees.

| Congratulation to our landscape gardener.  I remember the beginning of the dragon trees, I'm happy you achieve it at last. I hope you will share bigger pics of them, I'm so curious to watch them closer  |

| Kiki, I'll get some better photos of the dragon trees in the next couple of days, in the mean time I just finished a tree I have only worked on for about 2 days because it has very little foliage. What it does have is a storks nest in it. I put the lesser adjutant in it for now but my main idea for the tree is the painted storks I am going to have made. I want 2 more nests because I want 3 pairs of storks along with either eggs or chicks, I haven't decided yet. I have made the frame of a second tree and I will put the next 2 nests in that tree. It has more branches. which means more time to make, and I think it will have a lot more foliage along with the nests. Here are the photos, hope you like it, [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |
