Products inspired by trees

This beatiful elegant branch bursting with new leaves hangs gracefully from an 18" delicate sparkly 14k gold filled chain. The lovely pendant is matte gold plated brass and measures 35mm x 33mm.

This beautiful bracelet would make a lovely addition to any box of jewels! The focal point of the piece is a large brass leaf stamping (3 1/2") which has been carefully altered to fit the curve of any wrist. 

This garden bracelet features an antiqued brass twig with a matte satin finish. Adorned with an vintage green glass lily blossom and a green glass leaf, the twig stands out beautifully. For the wristband I used shiny glass melons in a beautiful ruby shade to highlight the garden theme even more. 

Products made out of trees.

This is an affordable set of all natural eco friendly fashion earrings. I made them from a limb that fell in my yard. I left the bark on the outside.I don't use any stains or dyes. It is all natural color. These earrings are very lightweight.A perfect gift for a friend or loved one, or a nice little treat for yourself.

The wooden part is 3/4" round x 1/4" thick. I used a clear shellac finish to show off the beauty of the wood, and sanded in between each coat so the finish feels silky smooth.

Beautifully grained wood with fantastic light rays in the wood. The color is just starting to change so it gives you a two tone effect across the grain. The chocolaty chunky bark has been left on and really make this color of the button pop. All four buttons have been given a tung oil finish and buffed with organic beeswax. Quite a nice button.

Inspiration

Bomen kunnen op veel manieren inspireren. Door de boom zelf als kunstwerk te gebruiken, dit te gebruiken in schilderijen of andere kunstwerken, maar het wordt ook steeds vaker toegepast in de mode.


Alexander Mcqueen is een van deze personen. Zo heeft hij een hele collectie ontworpen waarbij zijn inspiratie simpelweg een boom uit zijn tuin was.


I've got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden," he said, "and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen." After a trip to India, the designer worked like a fiend for months in his studio, with images of Queen Victoria, the Duke of Wellington, and the Indian Empire running through his mind. They were transformed into ballerina-length multi-flounced dance dresses, each more insanely exquisite than the last: A miraculous red-feather-fronted number turned to burst into a froth of creamy frills in back; another came covered in baby-fine knitted lace; a third had a pair of peacocks—again fashioned from cutout black lace—with their tail feathers fanning out over ivory tulle petticoats.
