Making a fallen tree stump.

Old faithful. Toilet roll tube.
Added polystyrene branch and covered with foil.

Tissue and PVA for the texture and shape.

Painted, with sprouting fledgling branches.

  3. looks great.
    Q: is the foil necessary to obtain the grooves in the branch?

  4. Cheers, Terry.

    A: Not necessary at all. Though it may help, the foil was only a quick solution to holding the branch to the trunk. I could have just used glue. The bark texture was created by 'nipping' the wet (with half PVA:half water) tissue. It also creases naturally as it's applied.
