Baryon Bough Light

This was a one day build and I was not very good at documenting the process so there's not many pictures.

I'd recently seen those little wire trees with gemstones on the branches and wanted to make my own version of this concept with a Baryon Bough plant from the game Destiny 2, while also having a go at doing a speed build.

Overall I'm very happy with how this turned out and I've learned a few things to keep in mind for next time such as finding a different power supply so I can activate the lights without needing to pull out the whole battery pack, making the wire much longer than you initially expect you'll need, and to wear gloves when using superglue on tiny pieces.

(WIP) After tightly winding up the wire to shape it and then wrapping the LEDs around it I started sticking purple gems onto each light to help diffuse them and make the tree look better in the daylight.

(WIP) The tree is powered by a battery pack hidden in the rocks and decorated by rocks to slide in and hide it.
