nice.
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

That's awesome!  Did you say the trees are handmade?  I'd be interested to hear how you made them?

Thanks Leon,

for the trees is very easy. For the trunk I use metal wires twisted together covered with PVA glue and painted. Then I apply foliage, with various commercial turf materials.

Thanks for the info, what are the thin clear strands made of around the foliage, some kind of fishing wire?

No it's the turf used for foliage. In the pic there is some play of light...

Nice work. How did you make the little yellow flowers by the fence?
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
