Let’s give them a try. We will need to do some exiting. I will move them around until it is perfect.
The start
Sapling #5- leaves
Breaking the shell off and placing off and cutting off the sprues that do not work as stems.
With several tears in my shoulder the will have to take this to legacy get all off the Shell off. I would love to do it my self but it is not worth shoulder surgery.

Each piece is sewn onto the sculpture with a piece of wire in at least three places. It is slow meticulous work. It is a meditation. I have to really slow down and look very carefully for the best places to connect each piece to the sculpture. The wires used to attach the pieces can not look functional. The connections have to be hidden. My goal is to keep the water light and moving. Harvey was all about the water.
