a beginning



I've finally started working on my outdoor Halloween tree. Just bare bones at the moment. Chicken wire and a tomato cage to make it easier to secure to the ground. It's currently six feet tall; I'm aiming for a final height of eight feet, or even ten in my wilder imaginings. This is the prototype. If it turns out well, I'll make at least two more. To populate a front yard sadly lacking in large trees.

On the left edge of the photograph is my assistant, admiring my work.

VERY cool! I can't wait to see the finished product. You should totally take pictures along the way so you can admire your handiwork. :)
