    Default mistletoe parasite

    I did this awhile back and it wasnt particularly stable a little top heavy but not dry either. So I put aside to dry, got a bit carried away with the drying I think nearly two years .

    stands around 30cm by 17cm Danish Oil. A little challenging to photograph

    Yeah just a bit, held it by the foot and run the steady on the rim, had to repair the rim as it was badly cracked and split, super glue and a cup of coffee later back at it, for all its voids it was surprisingly solid.
