This is a great project! I am really impressed with the detail you can get by carving that foam. Seems much better than great stuff or handi foam.
Are you going to leave the led lights in the tree when done? Do you think your froggies will get nightmares?

Sorry to rehash an old thread, but I'm needing some closure on the Halloween Tree! Any pics of the setup planted, with frogs? Are we still waiting on a work in progress (no worries there) Any pic updates?

I've been so busy filling orders and working on custom projects over the last 2 months that I haven't had any time for my own stuff! I'm currently working on a 4' tall rock wall tank for a customer that I'll post a buld journal for later this week. The tree is still sitting on my dining room table, flashing me an evil look every time I pass for letting it sit unfinished...

My goal is to have it finished by Sept. 1st. I'll be working on it some this week, hopefully updates will follow!

I did a little work over the past few days.

Building a boulder:
1. Rasping up the surface for better glue adhesion.

2. Pieces glued together.

3. Some sanding, test fit.

4. Finished shape.

Another:

I also carved out the track for the water feature. It will trickle through the crevasse between the large rocks, and through the trough, finally cascading over some more rocks and into a bog area.
