Adorned birdhouse on top of a tree trunk coming out of an old country barrel. Everything is made out of gumpaste in small scale. Used various techniques to give it depth and interest like stenciling, royal icing flood work, gumpaste flowers, modeling, piping, lacework. The birdhouse is hollow and is sitting a a relatively thin piece of gumpaste even though it seems thicker because of the lace surrounding the platform. The tree trunk does not give any support to the platform. How did I manage to hang the heavy birdhouse and at the same time keep it level? It would be fun to see if any of the viewers can figure it out. I'll let you know if you get the answer correctly. Good Luck<br>
