I made an armature for a Kapok tree out of hangar wire. The root system will be growing around a stone ruin. The next step is to make the stone ruin and cover the armature in foil, then paper mache over the foil.
Also I made two Monstara Deliciosa armatures with wire and leaves from the Michael's micro plant monstara. The Michael's miniature had it like a bush but it's actually a vine. I also added more fenestration cuts in the leaves, as the leaves get bigger, the more fenestrations and perforations they have, to scale these leaves would be huge. Then I added arial roots, as older vines produce them for stabilization. Im going to have to coat the armature in wood glue im thinking. A glue/paint mix.
We'll see how this goes.
