A new tree maker
Hi Jos,
First of all I want to say I am a huge fan of your work. I cannot tell the difference between real life trees and your handmade trees. For that reason the last couple of days I have been attempting to learn your technique of making tree frames with floral wire. Im trying for Aspens native to the Canadian rockies although some don't look right at all. Here is my first couple attempts.
What do you think? I also have a few questions.
1. Which gauge is the best for HO scale. I have been using 20 , 22 and 24 gauge floral wire.
Here are the next trees I made which I think are a little better but I have alot of practicing to do! Im not even going to try to put bark or leaves on until I have mastered the frames. I want to make trees found in the Canadian Rocky Mountains so Aspens, Pine, Larch, Fir etc.
Thanks for posting all your beautiful work!
