Coolest tree project!
Ok a year ago I talked about this tree I wanted to make and finally I scanned the pic from the book! I might give it a go soon (we will be gone for Thanksgiving weekend and no puter and if I can't sleep LOL might as well bring it) and see if it turns out! I have all the supplies here!

neat looking! Is it chenille stems (pipe cleaners) or chenille thread wrapped around something?

Making Fairies & Fantastical Creatures by Julie Sharp

It is pipe cleaners. The full size one takes 380 brown and 100 green! I'm thinking of trying the same technique on a smaller scale first. The top is a canopy that can be removed! I'll let ya know how it goes!

My smaller version is still like about a foot tall! The size the book talks about must be huge! I'm also thinking of making a canopy that is reds, oranges, and yellows for fall! So I can interchange them- the canopy- green part- comes off.

A foot tall? I was imagining a mini like half that size. Buckets, the book tree must be HUGE!

I think the fall tree would be really handsome too.

C'mon, quit holding out, show us a pic.
