Goodmorning everyone,
as I was about to complete my first little dio adding the last details, an accident ruined my plans. I had put the base on a self in order not to harm it, but my sister in low had a different oppinion. Trying to reach something of the self she touched my poor dio which fall down on the floor. My first tree is completely destroyed . Fortunatelly, the ground work was not harmed ( sand,moss and stones are all in place, they passed the crash test ) so I think I 'll use it now for another dio. This time I'll place a german motorbike on the scenery and the driver looking at his map. Today I'm going to finish my bike so I believe I'll be back with fotos on Monday.



so bye bye my first tree, I'll remember you. R.I.P

I believe any court would deem your sister in law's sudden death as justifiable homicide.

What was really bad was that the tree was actually a very good one.....sniff sniff.....make your sister try to replace it until it comes out just as good.....she'll probably learn the lesson....and get her fingers sore.....OK enough punishment

That was an awesome tree. But just because of one mishap, dont give up your dream of having a tree in that dio. Go for it, make a new one. And if you sister-in-low trys to come near it., hit her with the one she broke.

That tree looked great! How did you build it?
Is it a normal plant?

good day all
I want to thank you all for your support,I was really sad looking at my broken tree. But now after reading your replies I'll try to make another one better than the first for another dio I have in mind.
Conserning your answer ekke: I took a dry donkey thorn(there are plenty of them here) and I made little holes with a needle.That was the bark of the tree.Then I placed dry oregano branches in the holes gluing them with white glue. After drying, I painted the leaves in green shades. I was about to glue some spices on the branches but the accident happent. Next time (soon) that I'll make one I will present you the whole method with fotos.
