No trees were harmed in the making of my branches.
While I was painting some branches a few days ago, it dawned on me - I would hate for someone to think the branches in my shop came from me hacking away at some poor tree.
All of my branches come from long-been-dead trees. They come from walks in the woods behind my house, or my parents house. And I still have quite a lot that I brought from Austin. Yes, when we moved across country - I packed some branches along.
The idea for my branches came from when our property in Austin was just a graveyard of trees who had perished from the prolonged drought. I even have some neat, very large ones - that I had painted and are now displayed in my livingroom on the wall.
But when I was painting the other day - I thought.. hmm... there may be people who view my listings and think I am willy nilly hacking away at the forest.
Such is not the case, and now I feel better for saying so.

I hadn't thought about it, but that's good to know!
Kristin, I just couldn't picture you hacking away at the trees ;-)
But good thing to let people know about your branches!
Hope you're doing great!
I think it's great that you are giving these branches a new and beautiful life!
This is so pretty!! We have lots of dead branches behind our house too. It's sort of recycling isn't it :D
