It recently occurred to me that some dead looking trees would go very nicely with all the ruins I had built. Since I had none I set about rectifying the situation.
My first attempts made form a basic card shape and smothered in PVAcrete looked absolutely awful and even after several tries at saving them I could see no future for them other than the bin, which is where they ended their days.
I had seen a couple of You Tube videos using gardening string to create bushes so decided to give it a try. Luckily Mrs Daxio has plenty of course string just right for the purpose, so I set too.
I immediately preferred where these skinny, gaunt trees were taking me and so persisted.
They look suitably cobwebby and the original colour of the string meant I had little painting to do to get them to a playable state.
Disaster had been avoided and there would be dead trees in the city tonight....I was happy.
