Tree 95 - Fan Fold Tree
This was one of my totally experimental trees. That is, one I start to make without really knowing where I'm going with it or how it's going to look when it's finished. I am really happy with the result I think this style or technique has a lot of potential.
Tree 94 - Glitter
Some trees are really fun because they really bring me back to a child-like state. When I make a tree like this it is more like play and I feel the wonder and magic of the world that has been leeched away somewhat by the daily grind. This is why I do this project so that I can make something, feel good about what I'm doing and find myself going "OOOhhhh!"
Tree 91 - Glow in the dark paint
This is another one of those times when my flimsy photography skills frustrate. This paint glows in the dark but I couldn't get it to show on camera. Doh!
Tree 90 - Line Doodle
A wee doodle with some curvy lines. I quite enjoy doodle trees. On those occassions when I am working long hours I will probably do more of these kind - maybe a bit more abstract. I like the fact that when I have a break I can do a doodle tree and still feel really creative.
Tree 88 - Tissue Paper on Wire
Tree 87 - Cookies
Ok, so cooking is not one of my strengths. I tried to make two batches of these and they just didn't come out right - always cremated. I wouldn't mind but I was using pre-made dough. I know, I know I must hang my head in shame.
Tree 86 - Fusible Beads
I spotted these guys in a pound shop and snapped them up. It's funny how you begin to see potential material everywhere when you start a project like this and the pound shop is a treasure trove of potential. I really like how the tree stands up as well.
Tree 85 - Toilet Roll Cutout
This one was tricky. I didn't think it would stand up after I had cut so much away but amazingly it did. Then I had the bright idea of painting it, making it all wobbly and floppy but once it dried off it regained its standing (mostly).
Tree 84 - Business Card Cutout
I had taken some time out from posting that was needed. Some things were getting too much, so I took a break. I have a lot of trees to post. I will try and catch up in the next few days and then hopefully keep on top of them as I go along. Never fear though my posting might be lackadaisical but I have by no means given up on my 365 project.
