Moveable Trees

I took a break from the Rooms to make a few trees to create three moveable trees of the genus and species...  Townicus gailii. 

Yes, I made up a tree.  Kind of a hybrid between mesquite and ironwood, maybe?  I wanted a spreading, stark branch configuration with arid-resistant, sparse, ovoid leaves, so I made one up.

Base, trunk/limbs and leaves are... Sculpey clay, marigold stems and dill seeds.  Construction was easy... glued stems into baked, painted Sculpey, put glue on limbs and dipped in seeds.
