Challenge 735: Josephine's tree
Josephine Harvatt has come over all alternative this year, and rather than a standard Christmas tree has opted for a rather arty woodland find. Can you decorate it for her, in a suitably artisan fashion - no shop-bought decorations allowed - and then place it in the corner of her front room? Judging by the low angle, she wants it placed on the floor. You may have to move that chair.

I've done the rather tricky cutout for you here, and you'll find the background here.

Thank you David, Anna. Yes I spent many hours burning the midnight oil to get this done. The FC is like a drug, you just can't stop. My wife keeps calling me John. Hmm.

Re: Challenge 735: Josephine's tree
Very nice Michael, certainly a great deal of work and a lot of thought put into it, I'm surprised your wife even sees you when the FC comes out.
Anna, great work as per normal - very nice !!!

Thanks Frank. The PC is always out. She's the one who has to go into the cupboard.

Mariner Michael Wow! that must have been a lot of work! Love to see that production.

Animation: http://vimeo.com/306329963

I was going to do a lot more with this. Good thing Tony is on a cruise this week because I didn't have time to do what I wanted with this. Appropriately, this is again like Christmas for me because I could not preview it before rendering.

Trevor, Sara, thank you. As a pensioner I have a lot of spare time. I use the FC to fill some of this time, and, when the creativity fever gets me, the hours just fly by.

Re: Challenge 735: Josephine's tree
Many many thanks to everyone - although not too sure my carpet would be too happy about Frank's offering and shall definitely be on the watch for cats, fire engines, reindeers, elephants and Marley's ghost next time I go in there! This is how the real thing turned out - How to Cheat but not in Photoshop
