Witch Tree

This was a nother side project I was doing while waiting for paper mache to dry.
Yes, it's from Marta Stewart.....fuck off.

The above shot (again, forgive the camera....better pics coming soon when I can find the cable for the good camera) showing the basic shape and decorations.
The tree is an old rose bush, painted black and spray glossed in a plastic cauldron filled with river stones, and decorated with small skulls hung by alternating yellow-orange ribbon and black rafia cording.

 

The whole thing stands about 4 feet tall and provides a great creepy shadow at night when I get a glass of water at 3am.

Total time (excluding drying time): about 2 hours. Total cost: about $8 (if you already have the can of gloss and paint).
