Lately, I’ve been playing around with some new tree designs, and this one came to life as a little aspen grove surrounded by a single pine. Fall has a special magic for me—the golden shimmer of aspens against deep green evergreens always feels like nature showing off. Creating aspen groves is one of my favorite things to do. There’s something about the movement and texture that’s so calming. I even tried crafting a separate pine tree this time, but let’s just say… that experiment didn’t quite go as planned (back to the drawing board!). Last weekend, I took a quick trip up to Flagstaff to soak in the fall colors before heading back to the desert heat of Phoenix. The golden leaves, crisp air, and mountain views gave me so much inspiration for future pieces. This particular tree won’t be listed in my shop—it’s more of a creative experiment and a reminder of that peaceful grove tucked in my memory. But who knows, maybe a version of it will find its way into my store sometine soon.
