Fall has arrived in the land of Glee

Fall has arrived in my imaginary land of Glee.

A while back I shared a sneak peek of some trees from the Land Of Glee.


And like some of my projects, they slipped to the back of the busy pile;
but have resurfaced in festive fall colors and decorations!

This tall fellow is made from paper pulp and paper clay.
Painted in bold colors of green, orange, purples, fuchsia and brown.
I also added speck of orange glitter here and there for whimsy.



The trunk is wood wrapped in green and brown polka dot fabric
with tattered edges.
Finished at the bottom with lime green glitter yarn.

The tree stands also contributed to the delay of the trees as well.
I wanted to create something unique and after several different ideas I like this base best.


In fact I like the bases so much I have been contemplating other uses.
Like chunky drawer pulls and decorative wall tiles with inspiring words, we'll see.

The tree stand is made of paper pulp and paper clay.
I painted it with complimentary greens that I antiqued with a Burnt Sienna wash.


Also made of paper clay is the plumpy little pumpkin that sits at the base of the tree.
A small polka dot heart and glitter yarn adorn the top of the pumpkin.

I am crafting a small tag to hang from the piece as well.
It will read "To live in the Land of Glee one must harvest joy"

I am quickly working on more trees and other surprises from the Land Of Glee.

Thanks for stopping by,
Mary
