Making a diorama
Chapter 7 continued: Making trees
This is a tree armature
that comes in the tree making kit.
Bend the branches so they take a three dimensional
natural shape.
Apply your glue liberally to many of the
branches. Do not cover the entire tree. Remember that trees have areas
with leaves and areas without leaves.
While the glue is still tacky dip your tree armature in the bag
of foliage and spin it around. Take the tree out and examine it.
Add more glue as you see necessary and dip the tree again. You can
put more glue on the tree and add the foliage by hand for the finishing
touches.
Don't just use one type of foliage material. Vary the colors and
the textures. T
Here is a photo of a completed tree. It
looks great! allow the glue to dry.
