[Leigh Taafe]

Its not big Jamie - maybe 20cm high ! It is one I have been "letting it go" for a few years in anticipation of a big restyle!

[Jamie]

heres my first entry love these shimps mate, there is so much you can do with em

there will be more

[Jamie]

this one uses angle four, needs lots of angular branching that goes over the trunk line as the trunk is rather angular and straight.

if this could be done with such a small tree, which it is possible it would make for a sweet tree

theres heaps of options in this tree guys, i will stop for now to leave some options open

What has happened to all the virters? A few months back we were having around 10 different people entering! Has this comp died a slow death? Is the material not interesting enough? Once we have filled 12 months of virt comps - we will have a grand final - then I think I will have to come up with something different as far as comps go......maybe something different each month, ie. a virt comp one month, then a best pic of something or other the next month, then......I dont know! I was hoping to keep everyone interested right through to the end by actually styling the tree, but that hasnt seemed to work! Any ideas? Or is it all too boring, and I shouldn't bother?

Let me know.
Leigh.

i love it personally leigh as you might be able to tell. i have actually wondered where the likes of Aaron and that have gone too? maybe school has been keeping him busy?

Leigh
I just got started. Still trying to work these drawing programs out but i think your right.
There needs to be more interest

[Jamie]

come on people!

there are heaps of options for this tree. you dont have to be a pro at using photo shop programs, people have won using a chalk board! sketches can look really good to, have a crack you have nothing to lose and ya might win something

[Regan]

I'd love to enter, but my damn Internet has stopped working, I'm posting via my phone at the moment

I love them Leigh and it gets the Creative juices flowing. Unfortunately I don't have much time to spend on the PC thru this time of year ( Little Athletics Gets in the way too Much). Keep 'em coming but the last couple have been quite hard too to do all that much to for me. ( Or maybe I just like looking at your trees and wishing)
