210311 - The Money Tree pt2 and more branches

With the money tree essentially made and just a bare skeleton now, it needed it's leaves to finish it off.

I made the "leaves" on photoshop, they're just 10 and 20 currency notes, which will form the leaves on the tree.

Each note has a picture of a member of the group, along with an image that represents them.

May has a rainbow, Alex a Yoda model he made, Tom a bottle of rum and I've got a picture of a Land Rover.

The notes were laid out in such a way that they're cut in strips of two. This strip is then folded in half, which creates both sides of the note, then just simple glues together.



Once the glues dried, each note is then cut out and stored ready to be glued onto the money tree's branches.


While I was doing this Alex and May continued working on the branches of the trees, individually gluing leaves onto the branches used super glue.


At this point we'd barely scratched the surface, there are still around another 15-20 branches to do. They will later be attached to the trees we made from the pipe insulation and modrock, which will form out forest scene.
