The below images show the making of the branch as a test piece as well as to practise my welding skills. The pictures that are further down show how my welding progressed as i practised the welds. It is obvious that my welding skills are still very far away from being perfect and most certainly need my practise before the final design is created. Although the welding isn't the best im pleased with how the other all branch looks. Using a thinner and slightly more bendy poles meant that i could really make the branches gnarly and more twig like. Using the leaves i made previously i attached them on to the branch as a visual for how the end design could possibly look.
Aim to create more branches to get better at welding as still struggle to get the welds tidy. Possible solutions if welding doesn't improve: Cable Ties, string, tight wire- like weaving.
Plan to investigate other possible attachments methods
