The Story of: Tuft, a vase for weeds. Stage one.

It started life as a bit of a weed itself. 
Take one above, after I lost patience with it.

Take two. Yuk. 
Looks more like a fennel bulb than a tuft of cartoon grass.
So some research on plastic toy animals and their grassy surrounds.......

... then take three! By jove I think you've got it!
You may spy the plastic animal inspiration in the background.
This is the model ready for casting in plaster, then I need to make an inner 'well' and cast the stand. 
I will explain later.
