At conference in a Palmerston North I attended Shirley Pygott’s class a ‘Myriad of Leaves’. I took some photo’s while at the conference of progress. Shirley was kind enough to allow me to take my tree a step further by adding three dimensional branches. So, if you look closely you will see three added branches, Shirley was quite pleased to see the results.
