Re: Shaping trees, literally!
Totally Photoshoped but I think they did it just to highlight the kids. The trees and kids are real. Another possibility is that they took the picture of the kids when the trees had no leaves and then superimposed them into a later springtime photo.
Ok after looking at it again I see what they did. Look at the branch under the girl and to the right and see where it fades into nothing. Then compare the center where the body is. Basically she is sitting on the middle of the big tree and they made it look like she's sitting on another tree. The boy is sitting on the other side of the middle big tree and is superimposed to look like another tree on the other side. Last edited by momoese : 06-26-2008 at 10:19 PM. |

Re: Shaping trees, literally!
Yeah it looks to me like they did just that, to jazz up the picture. I think it looks good.

Re: Shaping trees, literally!
Our master gardener group did a living chair sculpture for our local cultural center, Minnetrista. It consisted of several willow saplings planted in a configuration so that they formed a chair, complete with arms and a high back that's woven and approach grafted together. It's in the childrens' garden there, and almost ready for people to be able to sit in it. We put it together 2 years ago in a large pot and then grew it out for a year while working on it, and then installed directly into the ground. I don't have a picture of it though.
It's basically shaped like an captain's chair with a lattice back.

Re: Shaping trees, literally!
Sandy that's awesome that you know how to do this!!! You should grow one outside your nursery!! I bet it would attract a lot of people to stop!
I'd love to make one too... or a table. I liked the round, granite?table with the leaf canopy over top. |

Re: Shaping trees, literally!
It looks like both kids are sitting on the same spot in the tree, just different angles, but same backgrounds. I wonder what type of tree it is that allows for so much manipulation. What a fun idea.
