bigfootnampa Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I hate to say it but it looks a lot like one of those southwestern "Ironweed" plants to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbalist Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nice work, the leaves look kinda like a Eucalyptus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest we start a PUN TAX for things like this, but since I am one of the biggest offenders, it would cost me in the long run. I like this, you did well.

Spears Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Nice overall appearance but on some of your leaves, the groove running down the center falls off left or right of the leaf tip. Not sure if that is the “imprecise on purpose” look you were aiming for, but if it is going up for sale or into an exhibition, I wouldn’t want the “eye for detail” types to judge it as sloppy. Just an observation. Spears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, The smaller the leaf the trickier they are, if I'd noticed I would have ground em to center...The client likes it...''Only God can make a tree''....Kilmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
