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.

UGH, THIS REMINDS ME OF A MOVIE. SWEET JESUS I CAN'T REMEMBER IT'S NAME.
I think it's like a pirate island or something! xD and there's this tree with food hanging of itt, which food product i can't think of, it might have been a pizza tree, and so this boy goes to get some but then gets trapped in the tree because there's this little shark things that swims around the sand at the base of the tree and it eats the people that go to get the pizza. xD
but seriously, that's amazing. ;D

This version of the sculpture is even cooler! Again, the tree has so much life and character. Personally, I think he needs to be holding a glass of wine to go with all that cheese! He seems like a red wine drinker to me.
Love love love it.

Heh heh...yes...
It's funny because the last night we were there in Kauai, they had this big wine and cheese party in honor of the tree...
He definitely is a red wine drinker...

Heh heh...it is fun I must say...
Sometimes scary for others though...
Hey, I just followed the directions for submitting work to the group site like you instructed, but the only options it gives me is "suggest a fave" and "leave the group"
It doesn't have a "contribute deviation" option...
This is the first group on DA I've joined so I apologize for all the questions...
Thanks again,
Take care
