It's Tuesday....so once again I offer up another in the continuing series of my Talisman Tree creations. I have two others on the go right now and more waiting to be started, so I don't see an end in sight!
This time, the tree is from my own street, although next week's tree is once again one photographed on my travels. I worked on the colours of this week's project almost every day for the past week; I just could not get it right. Then, almost like magic -- and why should that surprise me, they are after all talsiman trees -- it all came together and I knew it was complete.
I still have to get my Etsy shop up and running, something I was determined to do before 2008 ended. When the captain and I returned from our anniversary cruise in early November it was on the front burner. Of course, 2008 took a dramatic turn for me in late November and many plans were put on the back burner. Just getting through Christmas was an accomplishment! But I've been thinking these trees could be front and centre in my upcoming Etsy shop, perhaps a series of greeting cards.....or printed on canvas and then mounted......or even as straight-up prints, ready for framing. Just thinking out loud here, but the ideas are buzzing in my head right now.

Yes, you're definitely on a roll here Lenore. Why not sell your Talisman Trees both as prints and cards? I think people would be interested in both.
