Star tree

I have recently started to play around with metal wire to make jewellery. I however came across this thicker metal wire (aluminium I believe) that was very pliable. I instantly thought that I wanted to make a tree, I don't know why just one of those things. Anyway once the tree was made I decided to decorate it with paper origami stars in purple and lilac and here is the result:

It stands about a foot tall (ish) and has made a lovely calming addition to my studio (spare room) :-). I have some other ideas so watch this space for some more trees in the near future (hopefully)

Foxgloves

I have always loved foxgloves, they are so bright and beautiful. We planted some seeds in the garden a while ago and this year they have come in to full bloom. A great opportunity to get the camera out and take some photos.
