    That is beautiful work. I haven't made a tree in ages. I've always thought it wasn't worth the time it took to make them, but this video has inspired me to give it another try. This is definitely much, much better than the technique I was previously taught.

    I've made an awful lot of trees in my life (mostly for commercial models) but I've never seen this hot glue technique before! I'm not saying I could have afforded to forest a construction project with trees like this, but I was fascinated to watch! Very artistic and absolutely excellent!

    I like the designs and workmanship on your trees better than any I've seen, they have that 'treeness' without all the glitz and glitter like others out there. I've been doing metal sculpture most of my long life and my way of doing a tree is a loose armature of steel rods that I weld and braze over to fill in the texture and use brazed on brass and bronze for the leaf clusters and highlights. I'm thinking of getting back into the tree thing and use some beads, which provide some stunning highlights as exemplified in your work. Right now, I'm into dragons and elven circlets and tiaras but trees would be a nice break at this time. Keep it up, you do great work....

Light up tree on fire! I'll try it and see what I can work out but you are honestly better at crafts and I thought I'd pass along the idea for your own tabletop.

    • @Geordiecrafts
      @Geordiecrafts  Рік тому +1

      Oh I don't think this would be appropriate in an aquarium. The PVA and the acrylic paint are both water soluble and will reactivate in water. I would also be concerned about how the various products might interact with the health of the fish. Sometimes non-toxic things are toxic to aquatic life.
      I'm not sure of the best type of tree for an aquarium but I'm sure there is some info out there. Best of luck!

    • @kennethdarbonne4455
      @kennethdarbonne4455 Рік тому +1

      @Geordie Crafts in order to make it work, multiple clear epoxy coatings will be required. It's a very time consuming process but well worth it once it's complete. I've done it a few time over the years and it works very well. C/A glue itself is actually used in the aquarium hobby along with hot glue and has been for a long time now. On the upside, I always test new things that I build in a separate aquarium with no fish in it. I let it sit as a running, fishless aquarium and test the water daily for about a month before actually using it in one of my actual aquariums just in case. I definitely don't want my fish in danger! Thank you for the concern!!
