tree man finished

very clever

Well done,Leigh..that looks great..It should help to keep the unwanted callers from the door ! Lol..so much character in it's face..Creeping jenny will look good.Love your bee paintings too :o)

Very artistic. I love the effect.

thank you so much

Hi Leigh ,gosh that really does look like wood ,it will look amazing when it has some hair and Creeping Jenny dribble ! I'm thinking the local children will be going the long way home to avoid your tree man Lol .... xx

Its got to be your best yet - fantastic! I've been looking forward to the bee picture - lovely.

that's what I think sg x

amazing. the bench you inspired us to build is standing strong. maybe it's time to do another something...

Fantastic to see your tree man finished at last! It looks as if it really is made of wood! The bee painting is also very good! :-))

thank you x

I love the bee painting , very good :0)

Well its a fact I won't be walking up your path in the dark!! saying that I think he's brilliant and will be even more dramatic when he's weathered and has green hairy bits sprouting here and there....

yes it is Sandra . im loving drawing the bee its really interesting and a change from the norm . I now know there are 25 types of bumble bee in the uk and the one im drawing isn't the common one . this is a bushy tailed one .

reminds me of the Ents in lord of the rings. he is wonderful Leigh.

thanx sb that did inspire me as it goes x .

that's a brilliant artwork! oh, if only ... lol ever think of doing mail-order???

yes I am fran why fancy a bee print ?

i meant the tree man! lol, though it'd have to be in kit form

the kit form is junk wire and cement but im not sure that would help much fran lol .

true, the postage would come to a bit!

did you, or could you do, a basic how-to re wire and cement? people could make their own shapes, I know I'd like to, but not sure how to - need netting that's thin enouvh for me to be able to cut and shape, but strong enough to stay in shape. and how to "plaster" it? once one layer is on, the others can be built up over it, but the first layer?

forget the post what about the postman on his bike not to mention what your letter box looks like lol . well if you look back on my blogs I have explained . you use chicken wire as the netting around stiffer wire and rubbish or old rubble in tree man . this is to make him bottom heavy and stop the cement keep just falling through . rap the item a few times in chicken wire too . use a strong mix of 2 sand to 1 cement and mix it so it can hold the shape of a ball but not so much that its crumbly .

thanks, dear, I remember now that I did see it, but will go and find it again!

your welcome fran .
