Wow, thank you, my friends for the very welcome feedback.
After some vacation and too much heat, here comes a small mini update.
With the wire twisting method and some green stuff I created a small crippled tree (birch). The smallest branches were made of natural twigs.

Leaves were punched from real leaves and glued on.

Later the tree gets behind a stake.

Above the brick wall a concrete collar is used, this was painted in various shades of grey and brown and then chipped with green and black.
I bent a ladder out of wire.

Now I applied pigments and with a nice yellow irregular color to create a flaked impression.

Now here and there some grasses (lower part is plumber-hemp, upper part are the tips of wheat ears) as well as some dirt and moss were used.



Hope you like it, see you soon,
Manni
