Jewellery trees

Went mushrooming last weekend and found some cool branches.

1. Collected pretty branches and took them home

2. Cleaned them and snapped off any brittle bits

3. Drilled and glued a few together

4. Slapped on a few golden paint highlights

5. Popped some wooden beads on the ends of a few branches

6. Hammered to a painting easel 

(long story involving some very slow drying clay and a failed attempt at making a clay stand) 

7. Hung some bracelets and necklaces from it

It would look really cool on a wall as well, 

but I have no available wall space on walls that aren't rock hard cement..

Here's a ring holder I made a few years back, also added some beads to it yesterday:

And of course this would look really cool au naturel, sans paint and beads!
