'Bamboo' earrings, 2x5/8"; sterling silver, paper, colored pencil, mica; Kathleen Faulkner |
I had been thinking of taking out the bamboo. It had become wildly out of control and heading toward the neighbors. It grew in the sunniest location and I wanted that space for a garden.
One day my friend said that he had people who would want that bamboo and would dig it up and take it away. They did that. It was a gift.
'Pine' earrings, 2x5/8" sterling silver, paper, colored pencil, mica; Kathleen Faulkner |
Many of the trees on my property were here when I moved in. The previous owners planted tight and 'uniquely'.
The pine grows too close to the house. I am cutting it down. Across and away from it is a beautiful cedar I've planted in memorial.
