Trees

THE SHORT VERSION

Twisted garden wire supplies trunks, branches and roots, then masking tape builds thickness and knots before filler and textured paint establish bark. Torn car sponge dyed with food colouring creates irregular crowns, giving the swamp distinctive trees through inexpensive materials that can be varied without repeating a single commercial shape.
