Sweetgum Wreath

I'm pretty sure the consumers that have sweet gum trees at their home, hate the spiny like flower they drop every year. I know Skeeter does, she was kind enough to send me a huge box of these "dried blooms", I adore them and wish the tree would grow here in Maine. Thanks Skeeter! Next time let me pay postage! First thing I went for....you guessed it, a wreath. Wreaths represent the never ending circle, be it life, love, or happiness. It is always a symbol of continuance.

I thought I might like to pinwheel the stems on the outside of my wreath, then.....ninny, how would one ship that? So I decided maybe on the sides of my wreath, going opposite ways.

Well, I cut all the stems off because it looked more like a spider, EEWWWH!

Starting from such a blank canvas is very hard to decide what direction to go to......COUNTRY is nice but it doesn't fit.

And maybe the pair of geese isn't quite what I'm looking for....

I might be getting closer......gee, I took 4 days to think about this!

Stay tuned. C&G Design.
