University of Michigan-Flint charge artist: Lisa Borton, 2012 - present
 I utilized a drop from a 2009 production of "Into the Woods" but I wanted to fill in and refine it a bit. This is "before." |  In this step I'm filling in foliage to give a more layered look to the drop and to fill in some of the negative space |  I added some more birch trees and in this step have begun shading them and adding their bark lines |
|---|---|---|
 This is the finished product - it took 2.5 days (mostly dry time) to make this drop more lively. |  |  |
