That Tree 2013.


                                       

It's not easy to photograph this year's tree, but if you enlarge it, it may give you some idea.

I've suspended it from a beam, so that the branches come down rather than go up.

There are still more things to go on; the fairy, some greenery, and possibly some birds.

Anyway, it looks very 'Christmassy'.


Especially with the lights on.

What a great idea! Is it protected by copyright?

You have no idea how happy your tree makes me! I took a branch from one of our trees, painted it white and nailed it to the wall in our dining room. And then covered it with all white ornaments and white birds. Then in the middle one red crystal ornament. My husband doesn't get it, so I did decorate a regular dull tree for him in the living room but the white tree is mine, al mine...

P.S. Whose art is on the wall? And who painted the diamonds on the wall? A magnificent abode my friend.

Cro Magnon said...

An old painting of mine! The diamonds were my idea; Lady M was away and asked me to paint the sitting room walls. This was my response.

Cro Magnon said...

I wish it was!

It looks really good....what a great idea.

I always do a twig tree but not an upsidedown one - how do you manage not to walk into it with it being so low?

Cro Magnon said...

It's in a seldom visited corner of the room.

Carol said...

What a brilliant tree ~ homage to the Magnons Down under. Will your pressies float around the tree as well?

Cro Magnon said...

I'm still working on what to do with the presents (if there are any).

Frances said...

It is lovely. I have some twisted hazel twigs, painted silver many years ago, that come out for Christmas, with small clear glass droplets hung from them. Not sure how the 2 artificial trees will survive this year with a 6 month old puppy around!

I absolutely love it Cro and shall be showing it to the farmer at lunch time in the hopes he can find a branch of similar proportions for me.

Cro Magnon said...

Our two dogs have resisted the temptation so far!

Miss Holly said...

I just adore this tree!!!!!! What a brilliant idea...you've got me thinking now!!!!

Amy Saia said...

Hey, no needles. I kind of like it. Your art wall is cool too..

I have seen upside down trees, but nothing like that. Very cool, Cro.

Just beautiful, we always used to paint twigs white and decorate when we had little money, it was always commented on.
