Ballpoint Ents 1

The start of an experiment.

Creating an Ent from copper wire, a variety of tubes and rods, some old ball point pens and Greenstuff.

The heavy duty wire was threaded through the first two hollow pieces to make the lower limb.

Here's the Greenstuff applied below the knee

I soon realised that a better way would be to thread the wire through the lower body area and have the same piece going down both legs.

However, one thing at a time.

This will do to see how the surface looks when painted.

The rough look was created by rolling the soft Greenstuff between two pads of pot scourer.

Slow progress - again due to a house full of guests, the allotment, Settlers and a deeply depressing Test Match.


You might note the ingrowing toenail on this fella.
