Making trees

[MacKenHat]

Hi does anyone have a source for 'sea foam' to use as a 'skeleton' for making trees?

I talked to some local florists, but they have never heard of it.

Also, are air ferns no longer available? I recall my mother using them for centrerpieces on tables, but I can't locate these either.

Thanks, Ken

never heard of it. Have you tried googling it to see if it may also go by another name? What kind of trees are you intending on making?

I googled as suggested. Found:

I think "sea foam" is what Scenic Express uses for their "Super Trees" armatures.

I don't know where to get the Sea Moss, but have you looked at bushes or shrubs in your yard? Often small cuttings taken from a bush will provide a nice tree armature after the leaves are stripped off.
