Description
So I haven't made anything in a while. I got bored, grabbed a coconut, and hammered this together in just under two days. Don't ask me where I found the coconut.Name is a loose reference to Yggdrasil, which is Norse mythology (giant tree!), hence the tangly thing on his back.
Another amusing fact is that this sculpture has gratuitous amounts of copper, which might be seen as either fancy or just expensive given its rising price. The head is made of two copper pipes, there's a lot of copper wiring, copper-leaf plating strips, a thick loop of heavy-gauge copper wire around the rim, and two copper screws. Yowza! Also, the eyes are some simple glass things I found, and I used a dash of craft leather on the head and the legs.
Enjoy!

Reminds me of the creature from the Neverending Story. He's very cute and well done.

The copper is fabulous, dahlink. Also, you should consider investing in a higher quality camera. xD
I love the tree thing.

Danke. I still fear that in the year 3000 it will be stripped of copper to make wires for murderous intergalactic cyborgs, but eh.
And yes, I need to take TAP photog or summat.

No, get your photos less grainy. xD
I have no idea what TAP photog is, but it doesn't sound like getting a camera that is not grainy. xD

It's a class!!
But yes, a better camera is a good idea. Also, tripods.

Eh, tripods aren't a big deal unless you're taking a long exposure (aka, low light conditions, having the shutter open for a long time, etc). Unless you're planning some serious photography, I would suggest a niceish point-and-shoot. Or even a relatively cheap point-and-shoot. Don't bother with a tripod, they can be expensive. And unnecessary. I mean, you're not shooting sports, right? Just sculptures that you've made. xD

I think that the copper does add to it, though. And as it ages, the copper will turn some nice colors.
