Tree making: take a roll of 9 gauge steel. Cut it up in lengths according to the size of tree you want. Then it's wire wrangling time . Cover it with tissue paper. Make the ends poke proof. Spray paint.

 It's a very bouncy tree, the wires/ limbs flex in an interesting way.
  I'm contemplating putting leaves on.
I started doing a series of birds after Christmas, inspired by ball shaped ornaments, where I start from a tennis ball size wool ball and then make a simple version of a specific species, going for the characteristic colors and markings.


The moths and butterflies are from last year and made as barrettes:

I like how the warmth and lightness of wool actually can feel like a live bird in your hands.
