The Tree - secondary application of water putty - detail
In the tutorial I'm following, Diane used Durham's Water Putty. I ended up with a 4-pound container of it from Home Depot. Did I need four pounds of water putty powder? Uh, no, but it was what was available locally (no shipping) and I had a Home Depot giftcard with enough on it to cover the modest $7.98 price tag.
This was the first time I had worked with the putty and I found it to be a great material. I scraped the excess putty from around the roots to keep them rounded and separate as the putty dried.
I left it overnight, and it dried hard and treelike! Some of the binding wires had softened in appearance but others still looked unnatural. I added another layer of putty over the areas that needed blending.
