Working on 3D

It’s been a few hectic weeks here, but today I finally got the chance to work on these 3D tree experiments again. I’m trying two different approaches, one is a tree made with two clear glass triangles as the base, the other two will be rectangular. I think they would be good with a tealight candle behind them if they come out as I hope they will.

Two rectangular trees ready to go – held together temporarily with duct tape.

This is mainly an exercise in patience, as I have to glue individual branches in place and make sure they don’t drift while they are drying.

Triangular tree – I used silicone caulk to hold the two base pieces together.
I set the base up for adding layers of branches.
Gluing layers in place.
Turned over for the second side of the tree.
Adding layers of branches to each project, alternating to let the glue set.
First layer, second side of triangle tree.
Side 2 ready for another layer.
Another layer in place and drying.
Rectangular tree with three layers.
