The Tree - work in progress

What's a haunted farmhouse without a big ol' creepy tree in the yard? :ohmy:

To build my tree, I used the tutorial from the DVD Master Miniaturists: Landscaping Primer with Diane Myrick. This whole series is just awesome!

I added roots to mine, and in total it stands 18" tall. Diane's tutorial shows a tree with foliage. Since the Heritage is set in the autumn, my tree will be mostly bare (I think). Ha ha. To that end, I spent a lot of time shaping the branches. I also left the house side minus a branch, which might have hit the portico at some point.

The tree has a spindle on the bottom that's inserted into a box for right now. I will be adding a foam base when I get to the yard portion of landscaping for the tree to sit on, and the root tips will disappear into the ground.

There are a lot more steps yet, so stay tuned! Lyssa's building a tree, too!

I'm building a tree too :) I'm using a wire armature I made a couple of years ago that was too big to fit what I was working on at the time.
