Photo Monday - Wood

Since I insist on using only natural or hand crafted items for decor and projects I have many wood items. I chose these becasue they are my most "Unique"

The first is my famous blue tree. I read about another artist who did this with dead trees to give them a second life, loved it, and filed the idea away in my mind for when I found the right opportunity. When I moved in here there was a dead tree in the back yard just waiting for a second life.

The second is a piece of driftwood I found at the lake the last time we had a good rainy season (4 years ago). Originally I just had it outside with my other pieces in the garden, then I decided to paint it. I had my "family" (it is actually 3 different plants) in the house for a while but eventually moved it back out into the garden.

The last is my wand. It is a branch from the hedge in back of the house debarked, sanded and polished. I glued natural stones I harvested from the beach then tumbled and polished to it in a pattern and added a crystal to the end. Very Harry Potter-ish looking but I use it to visualize focusing and directing my thoughts and energy.

    Very cool blue tree......One of the advantages of living in a dry climate.......
It does make some things easier but somehow people in the tropical parts of Mexico seem to manage doing all sorts of outdoor stuff.

Not sure there is another blue one. The desert artist I got the idea from does his in yellows and oranges to blend in but my favorite color is blue so I figured "why not?"

Funny thing is that I didn't think I had any good photos until I started looking, then I remembered my signature tree - oh duh!

Never thought of my driftwood family as a lamp - that would be interesting. Who knows what I might end up with should I decide to re purpose it yet again.

Making up for lost time. I had to redirect my creativity towards solving family and work situations for most of my life. Finally, the last 4 years of so I am free to create the things I always wanted.

Very unique woods. I have seen the blue tree before but only notice the different shades of blue after reading mrsjoe's comment.

Just sort of happened that way. I could not decide which shade I wanted so it ended up being all of them.
