Wire Tree Process (December 16)

From the last time I left off, I combined three smaller trees together to form a larger single tree. In an attempt to make the tree more "full", I combined one more smaller tree to the larger tree. I ended up with a lot of roots, so I trimmed some away with the wire cutters. I twisted some of the roots together to make them thicker and others thinner, like a real tree. The ends of the roots were frayed. I spread out the branches and the roots. I brought a few rocks from home and chose one that I thought would make a good base. I ended using the biggest one that was slightly uneven. I wrapped the roots around the stone. If the roots were too long, I cut it with wire cutters. Finally, I used Scotch spray glue to spray the stone, attaching the roots on firmly.
