Description
So here is the tree with the cheese and crackers in place.There was more crackers to hang so that will be done later on.
He's still sitting on the crate bottom but Joyce said it will probably be placed permanently early next week.
It was fun because all of the people at the cheese and cracker party each hung a cheese and/or cracker on the tree.
I was sweating bullets wondering if it was going to arrive while we were there but lo and behold, it got there the day before we left so all was well.
It was an amazing experience to be there on the island but the icing on the cake was seeing Joyce and everyone react to the tree.
The cheese and crackers were sculpted, molded and then cast in two part resin.
It was fun because I sculpted a triscuit and goldfish among other shapes.
We went to a cheese importer and took digital shots of labels
photoshopped them and then glued them to the cheese blocks. I was really happy with how they turned out.
The stems are copper wire super glued in to all the cheese and crackers.
Under the leaf clumps are stainless steel eyelets that the wires hang on to.

I remember seeing this as a plasticine/oilclay work in progress sometime last year. It looks fantastic in its finished form. Congratulations on the DD as well, but most importantly congratulations on this sculptural achievement. What a great character.

Some deviations I can manage paragraphs of wording in regards to how I show my wonderment of the artpiece.
And other times, a picture can only be described with a single word.
...Wow.

I suppose you're feeling really special now that you've gotten yourself a DD.
Well don't. Rich (TheBuild) has clearly heard you crying softly to yourself in your pathetic little corner and has taken pity on your miserable existence.
Congratulations, Bro. This is such an incredible piece, and any accolades are well-earned! I'm exceptionally proud to call you a friend. (Now where's my five dollars?)
Btw, sent off THAT piece last night, I'll send you pics presently.

This is so original and magical. I never would have thought of a cheese and crackers tree. I'm just waiting for Wallace and Gromit to pop out and start taking cheese off the branches. Great piece!
