Patina White: a tree by me...{have a cup of joe}

happy monday everyone! thought i'd start the week with another feature of a tree by me! where i show a season appropriate creation i came up with. today's highlights were brought to life over a large pot of coffee and a plethora of paper cups exactly one year ago.

the photo {below} is from my table-scape last holiday season & shows my white on white forest mixed in w/ a medley of a collected objects...a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that. exactly what i love about my mixed up style!

though i "brewed" up these cuties last year...what was new + exciting to me was that my works caught the eye of the creative forces @ somerset studios! they contacted me to do a blurp about them in their winter issue of somerset studio GALLERY which showcases a fabulous mix of paper crafts. if you are not familiar with {s.s}...might i suggest you visit their website {HERE} for a host of magical publications surely to spark your imagination. their magazines are also available @ many of the mainstream bookstores as well!

here's a peek @ the cover {below}

read on for a peek @ the article...with the inside scoop on how to recreate your very own set should you be so inclined! coffee anyone??

so there ya have it! not only a little gander @ the trees by me but also a tutorial on how to make your very own grove! now grab your cup of joe and get busy! and make sure you have enough extra onhand to keep you fired up! it's a tedious project but very much worth it in the end!

a merry day to you!
