2 gardens down they have a pine that has grown in a wedge shape, like a big green slice of pie.

mmm, pie...

my thoughts exactly!

I managed to do a tree ish thing

[Kalorlo]

Some trees! I've discovered that I find it easier to put the stringer on from tip to trunk rather than the other way round.

The first one is more of an impression of a tree. The second is CiM hippo with silver leaf. The third is both sides of one on dark ivory with silver leaf. The fourth has Kaz's frits over Effetre rose quartz: Ferry Cross the Mersey in the sky and Dizzy on the ground. The fifth is pink tree! Light pink, rose quartz and some CiM lapis.

(There are pre-etching pics of the last two on flickr).

I can really see that tree in Kay's bead... and Tan .... those are just lovely ... I can see a person on the bottom one ... kind of looks like they're climbing out of the tree branch ... tree sprite !

[Ness]

Lovely tree beads, every single one of them.

Tan - do you mind if I ask what frit you used in the purple one?  It's scrumptious!

Here is my very first Tree bead.

The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.

Seems a bit hoooooge.  Um, sorry
