Inspiration Monday: Trees

Maybe I can't go so far as to call myself a "tree-hugger"... but then again, maybe I can.  I find untold amounts of inspiration from simply being in the presence of a tall, majestic tree.  

I want to go for a walk here!

They're beautiful in the Spring time, when tiny electric green buds grace their branches.  They're delightful in the Fall, when a rainbow of fiery hues shines overhead and on the ground.  They're lovely and serene in Winter, boughs laden with crisp white snow.  Deciduous, coniferous, it matters not.  All trees are cause for me to gaze upward in amazement.  Sorry, I don't mean to get all "sappy" (*groans at own pun*).

The best part about drawing inspiration from our leafy friends is that so many others share my opinion on this matter.  What does that mean for us as beaders?  It means lots and lots of tree-related beads, findings, and stampings to drool over.







Do trees inspire you?  Let's see your best tree projects.

Hi...i I actually specialize! I make trees for tabletops with Wizard faces in the bark and fairies perched in their branches. You can see the sold ones at joidvivre.com/gallery. I use beads for masks and garland and even fairy jewelry!
