So Many Different Types Of Foliage

 


So Many Different Types Of  Foliage

Trees and Shrubs 

      Over the years we collected some trees and some flocking and when it came time to place the foliage on the mountain I realized that I didn’t have enough. I didn’t have enough to cover even a third of the top of the mountain, nor did I have enough variety for what I wanted to do. And when I looked online at the prices of everything and knowing how much I might need I decided I would have to make all the foliage. And it really wasn’t to expensive at all. It did take a little time to make though.

I would find that I would make approximately 20 trees and shrubs and that would take about 3 to 4 days to make and then I would place them and then it would be making another lot the next week. For a while there it was all I seemed to be doing. But it did pay off and we think it made it look so much better and more original.

Here are some of the types of foliage I had to make. I will be explaining how I made them and also the ones that were a massive fail for me, over the next couple of weeks.

Who Remembers The Mr Whippy Van

                                    Who Remembers The Mr. Whippy Van Who remembers the Mr. Whippy van driving around the neighborhood of Melbourne, Victoria? I do, it was one of my precious memories of growing up. He would play his music on his loud speaker so that everyone no matter where you were could hear that Mr. Whippy was coming. We would all run out of the house so watch him coming especially on those really hot afternoons. While you would wait you could see all the other children and parents running out to their nature strips to purchase one of his yummy soft serve ice creams. Sometimes my parents would buy us all one and sometimes they wouldn’t. Now as a grownup I realize that they couldn’t always afford to buy us all one. But that still didn’t stop us from running out to watch Mr. Whippy do his thing. Mr. Whippy looked the splitting image of Elvis Presley. We used to think he had left his job and come to serve us ice cream and sing to us in Tottenham. Because we didn’t r
