No made it up as I went along, part of the tree is real enough but the rest is a place I could sit under and dream summer is on its way...all in the the mind, tis why I got lost in a few places, should have used the real tree that way I might have got a better image...as I said got lost with the direction of it all, but still gives me what I set out to do.
Thanks for the comments appreciated.

I like it very muchly, especially the twisty tree roots No one would know that you 'got lost'.....being as we have no idea what's in your imagination to begin with 
Martin, you are very talented

The tree is the failure in this, the bark is non existant on the tree as I could not do it with a scalple hence the ivy...that looks like some thing else..but I am happy with the outcome, the roots do work well but they are the most forgiving part to do.

Martin, you are very talented | Started with the fence then wondered what I could put in it, the tree came then the Fungi, but the ink caps and bonnets are barley visable, thats the problem with scratch boards you do loose a lot of definition.
Thanks for the comments.

It is great, I think that things from the imagination that evolve have a charm all of their own...
I have never tried scratchboard, looks like an interesting technique.
I really like all the different elements, tis a nice composition...

Have a go, from any good craft shop but make sure the undercoat is not Silver ...far worse to scan.
Thanks for the comments, appreciated.
