130. More Christmas trees, more hope.

Variety is one of the spices of life, to rephrase an “old saw.” So here are a few more pictures of Christmas trees. See post 127 for the first rendition.

The first one was found in a “big box” store. It comes with a story. Our daughter collects Christmas trees, all kinds. So many that it is more and more difficult to glean news ones from the “boxes.” We were excited to travel to China several years ago figuring new ground to cover. You know it, right? Everywhere we looked, “made in China.” All the trees our daughter already had. I took pictures as reference for future work.

Needless to say, we have to make our own for her. That is the second set of pictures. Cedar scrap wood from a carpenter’s discard box, black spray paint, white acrylic snapped on with an old toothbrush, super glue, and spray on urethane. Tadaaa! Shalom.
