Some trees due to depart soon.

Sorry my page is rather late. I shall be posting my tree page to Ruth tomorrow.
There are no pictures this time, I'm afraid, but I hope it arrives quickly.

Tree of Life Page from Kath

 Look at this beautiful page I received from Kath. It's the Tree of Life ala Klimt. The photo doesn't do it justice as the background fabric is iridescent and doesn't photograph well.

 Here's a slightly blurry closeup. Again hard to photograph (taken last night and all the shiny bits just reflect the light).

 Here's the back side.

And I love the lovely card plus a finger woven bookmark made by a 94 year old Greek lady. I hope I can see that well when I'm 94! Thanks so much Kath. It will make a wonderful addition to my book.

Have Trees, Will Travel

Ruth, my page for you is just about ready to start traveling.  Hmm.  Traveling trees makes me think of the trees in Lord of the Rings. 

Well, that's not what this looks like . . . so it's an idea for someone else!  This picture is from last week but I thought you could use a sneak peek.  Hope to have it on it's way by the weekend.

Thinking about TREES

It is not so much for its beauty that a forest makes a claim on men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air, that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. Robert Louis Stevenson.

When I read this quote by Stevenson, I am reminded of the feeling of reverent awe I have when I walk through the California Redwoods. The hush and majesty of these old trees always calms my heart. Somehow, I intend to use this photo as a starting point for Ruth's page. I'm starting to gather fabric and threads, but I'm glad I have over a month to pull it all together.
