Lots of tweaking throughout the day, but I think she’s ready for bark. The original plan was cherry tree, and I do have some lovely pink petals, but I’m out of teloxsys aristata and I don’t feel like waiting 3 weeks on a shipment from Italy. I mean, I’m going to, but I can build another tree when it shows up. I think this one is getting an evergreen clump. And maybe a squirrel. Does Darksword have fire-breathing squirrels?
The murky middle. That is a hot fucking mess. And I’m starting to look like I was attacked by a pack of feral cats. Good times.
Glue is definitely cheap and readily available, but I think the fiber paste would have gone faster and Gretchen agrees. Then again the glue is only every stable, it never cures past reworking.
As it is, it took some metric shit-tons of time with the pyro pen, but finally starting to look bark-like. I hope. It’s been four hours, I could be delusional by now. Either way, still got a lot to do and the heat gun didn’t help as much as I’d hoped.
