Had a go At making some bananas cherries and berries.
Quite pleased however I am not happy with my stalks, used twigs from the garden
Any ideas please to make them more realistic ?



It is my first attempt so go easy please.

They are very nice Johnny I try to get new growth twigs from box , privet , weigela, fuchsia there are many plants that will do it but new growth is always best if you can or you can make your own with florist wire and the green paper that florist use

Good idea I think I Will try the wire Woody,
If you use new growth it will only get drier and turn into what i have done in a few weeks.

Yes it will Johnny the only reason I use them is the bark is thinner and cleaner and looks more realistic
