Building Trees

[A more detailed instructional view of this to come later] I'm making some really cool trees out of wire and paper mache. I bought one hundred feet of wire with some mystery grease on it at a hardware store for nine dollars. Paper mache is just flour and newspaper, so that part's virtually free.



It's a ghastly looking tree, I'll admit.  I didn't use a reference. All-in-all, I'll be making at least three of these things. Someday I'll talk about how to make a tree skeleton out of mystery wire from the hardware store.

This particular tree is currently hanging from the ceiling so that its roots can dry. To be painted soon.
