Charlie Brown and his nemesis, the Kite-Eating Tree. CB is from the Peanuts Christmas Pageant Set. I shaved his arms to fit close, padded the shoulders, then a simple repaint with a frowny face. I tried marking his features with a "colorfast" pen, but it smeared, so I had to wash it off and paint by hand. The tree is from the woods with more branches grafted on, placed in a socket and wrapped with cloth to thicken the trunk. The leaves are fake ones cut small from Michael's. The string is tough thread. The base is cut from a CD case. The tree is scabby and lean, but then it's a Charlie Brown tree.
