Sisal tree

If a person makes gifts and/or decorations for Christmas, he/she has to start early. This is a Christmas tree made from sisal cord. It's actually a practice round for making one from green sisal fiber.

Love to see the parts. I hope we get to see a finished tree also.

FAV this one looks fabulous on black. I love the set up, the low POV, and the clarity of the shot

[Kathy]

@shutterbug49 I hope to finish the other one tomorrow. It still needs a trim. Thanks Debbie.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I put it on another background because the real one was too messy. i guess that's why it looks so dark. It was bright and indirectly sunny in the room.

[Kathy A]

That's awesome, I love it

[JackieR]

Such an interesting photo, so much of interest and beaufully balanced. Looks tricky thing to make!

[Casablanca]

Ooh anticipation of fun to come!

[Wylie]

Oh, very clever you!

[Susan Wakely]

I am loving the set up and idea.

[Delwyn Barnett]

What a great idea!

[Cazzi]

Very clever and a reminder that Christmas will creep up on us quicker than we think.

[bkb in the city]

Very interesting

[Margaret Brown]

A super idea, you will have to show us the green one when you get it made!

[Jacqueline]

How creative! Hope you show the finished product too

[haskar]

You are amazing, I remember about Christmas a week before.

[Kathy]

@kjarn Thanks Kathy. If it wasn't made partly of natural products (the base), I'd send you one.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie. I'm glad I had two practice runs. Not hard, but it didn't come to me right off.
@casablanca Yup. Tomorrow afternoon I'm leading a class for the fiber guild I belong to. That's why I had to practice up.
@pusspup **blushing** Thank you.
@wakelys Thank you Sue. I thought they were cute when I saw them on Pinterest. Is that a site you can get onto?
@dkbarnett I wish I could take credit for it. I do copy well though. @serendypyty Thank you Carole. Won't be as long as it has been. @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian.
@craftymeg I appreciate that Meg. I will show some. Maybe after Fiber Guild tomorrow.
@jacqbb I'll do my best. Maybe tomorrow or Monday.
@haskar Amazing - an exaggeration I'm afraid. The idea came from Pinterest and I copy well. Thank you anyway. I made decorations years ago and sort of stopped for a number of years. I've thought about Christmas ahead of time since I was an adult. I usually had to send gifts in the mail to my family since we all live apart and don't get together for the holiday.

I like the natural one- although I'm sure the green one looks good too. Good shot!

I get that you have to start early but for me starting early is going shopping on Dec 23rd instead of Dec 24th. It's still September Kathy.

@cdcook48 I've posted off my cards and gifts to Australia and New Zealand!! But I agree, far too early for non crafters and blokes!!!

[summerfield]

what! it's Christmas time again? i haven't even recovered from last year's! 😜

[Kathy]

@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I liked it better than I thought I would.
@cdcook48 (please see my response to @haskar)
@summerfield It won't be long Vikki.
