Eggcarte with first attempts to make root system.

Root system done from styrofoam, covered with acrylic sealant & painted with acrylic paint.
I bought myself Dremel to cut the styrofoam in shape.

Vines made of rope, silicone & cocofiber.

Background wall is rather simple. Same old good styrofoam with acrylic sealant & painted with acrylic paint. Also some sand added to acrylic sealant.

Substrat added. A kind of ABG mix self made covered with magnolia leaves.

Here is installed vines.

And yes, there are handmade mushrooms  
It's polymer clay painted with acrylic paint. Sculturing them to the form & painting i really a meditative process

And here goes planting. Also nothing special - brooms, peperomia, Dendrobium Loddigesii & Ficus Pumila. I'm really short in plants list.

Mushrooms are from polymer clay.
Here are some not painted yet.

The mesh is simply siliconed by strips of glass.

And the paints for you to know the brand.
