Barking Mad

....that's me right now. I appear to have become a little obsessed by trees :-).

The making of the armature is so easy and I can do it whilst doing something else...i.e. last night watching American Idol and that new Ozzy show (which was chronic BTW but I do have a soft spot for Ozzy)

The problem is, I will end up with all of these tree armatures then have to put leaves on them all. Unless they are dead trees of course :-)

So here is the latest....even though this didn't start as a bonsai it has become much bigger than I planned...it is so easy to get carried away and create a monster. Too small to be a whomping willow but I am getting there :- ) Mick's company is closing down his branch so he will be bringing me a boat load of wire ...amongst other goodies, home soon.


I am still working on the foxgloves during the day but I can't do them in the evenings with all the distractions.

I used to be so envious of those miniaturists who could sit and create while watching a movie or listening to music...I just can't do plants like that as I lose my concentration.

Mick works with loud music...when he was at home last week he was writing a complex electronic test procedure using excel.....and had his music on at full blast...not soft or classical music either.....bands like Marillion, Genesis and Yes...or maybe it was Vangellis...I get those mixed up. It totally threw my work out of sync...I don't know how he does it.

But tree wrapping...yay....I can do that and concentrate on something else....I forsee a lot of trees in my future.

So during the days I will continue with my foxgloves, and in the evenings make trees :-)

As for the foxgloves...no more piccies yet. They all have the top buds on now so I need to start making the open flowers Will post piccies when they look different from last time.

Happy April 1st guys....watch ya don't get fooled !.
