The tree
A very unusually shaped root base was selected as the base to which branches are attached chambered like real tree branches. Clematis fluff serves as natural decoration, reflecting in the glass globes. A number of metal leaf shapes enhance the whole, a single metal sprite points the height
up. This is a field creature at rest.
It recalls light returning, days lengthening,
of growth waiting in silence.

The rich feel is created by the sophisticated beadwork, the many details and the aptly balanced placement of the flowers including warm-yellow orchids and Craspedia.
