Trees

I’ve been feeling more creative than usual lately.  It all started with a walk into the backyard as the leaves started to fall off the trees and I decided to pick some to dry and frame.  I went inside, pressed all the leaves between pieces of newspaper, then put those inside of big books and let them dry.

Next, I was going for a hike one night and saw a really cool looking stick.  And I got the idea to make necklace and other accessory holding trees out of these sticks.  And here is what they look like now:

My brother said he can’t wait until skiing starts to I have another hobby that isn’t as messy.  But until skiing starts, it looks like painting trees will be my meditation.

Let me know what you think of my trees, and if you would like one.  I can custom make them to whatever size and color you like, so feel free to contact me if you have any interest or questions.

Thanks…and I’ll be posting some of the dried-leaf projects soon too so check back.
