A Family Tree

My creative wife has been asking me to find her a small tree for a home project for a little over a year now. I know what you're thinking... "What kind of a loser husband makes his wife wait a whole year for a tree?" (OK... so maybe you're not asking that question). Well... April found the tree that she wanted on the side of the road the other day and I went out to haul it back to the house. After de-leafing, trimming, painting and mounting the tree to the wall... the project is almost complete now.

Here are a few pics of the process up to this point:














































































































The next step is to create black & white family photos (close-ups) in black frames to hang from the limbs... and voila!... we have a 3 dimensional family tree. Pretty cool idea... huh? I will post a photo of the finished product when it is completed.

April rocks in the home decor creativity department. When I open my store, she's one of the first on my list to call.
Love the tree idea.
