I am almost finished with these and I would not be sad if my client did not care for  them as I am  rather fond of this piece of work.

Each leaf was hand cut  and bent so that they would look like real leaves. This is the view from the  front This is the view from the side. Lighting with the i pad is never true to color but these  look  amazing in person! 

Today was a  wonderful day! I re purposed a  project that I had abandoned a few years ago.  Now I can  call my 10 year old friend Emma and  tell her that I  have a  Christmas tree after all. It looks amazing in person!  Made out of an old  World War II missile case,  bamboo  from the  backyard and  plastic swirling rods,  tube  lights and  tree lights. see the  short video here.
