Title: Foray into Boro!
Post by: Lakelady on November 07, 2011, 11:11:48 PM
Pinched a rod from my mate Bernie....It is called 'Gnarly tree with walking frame'!  I suspect everyone makes one of these their first time!  I checked it could stand up, I swear I did!
I also made some coral and an insect larva but could not photograph them - like taking a picture of a sparkler!

It's good to have a play sometimes, it keeps the juices flowing.

I thoroughly enjoyed making it and will definately work with boro as often as I can!  It feels so yummy!  I managed to take a pic of the 'coral' and a better one of the Gnarly Tree....(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6116/6326239822_9519108104.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/31235634@N03/6326239822/)
