Handmade Tree sculpture out of clay by @sofi-m
Today I want to show you one more of my handmade clay trees.
Last time, I presented a more surreal version of nature the New World but today's art is more realistic but also an abstract piece.
It is one of the most difficult sculptures I have ever made; it is very difficult to make a tree with clay as the wet clay is heavy and it is very difficult to keep the branches up. It kept falling apart on my hands and I had to invent all sort of mechanical tricks to stabilize it until it dries up and it's ready to put in the oven.
In the end, I felt it was worth the effort; I love trees... natural or sculpted!

If the branches are hard to do, I can understand why the tree has no leaves lol

Thank you for posting @sofi-m. The tree is lovely....seeing the figure through the branches sitting under the tree was a nice thought.
Thank you @bluejay! I must admit it was by chance that the figure is seen through the branches...
Very cool! I totally thought that this was coral at first!
Thank you! Yes, I guess you are right it does look like coral in the photo!
