Kudzu Bottle Tree!

Posted by ginger On Wednesday, September 10, 2008

We did make it to ArtWalk Friday night after Temple, and went to the space of Kudzu Mama, Beth Borden, first - and guess what was there:

kudzu + bottle tree = going home with me

Well, one can never have too many bottle trees around, right!? I'm going to keep it in all blue bottles so it's a few short right now but I should have it done in a couple of weeks.

Beth was getting a *lot* of attention with her kudzu artwork - Av ran into one of our friends who had already bought a wreath from her that night too. There are more pics of Beth's art here.

The other day I found where someone was taking a new spin on bottle trees, using copper pipe and wire - it's about halfway down this page with complete instructions a few posts further down the page.

...and there are almost 300 pics now in the Bottle Tree Flickr Group I started! This pic in the group is of a bottle tree with some wire-wrapping going on. I like the traditional bottle trees best but love seeing how other people are doing different ones too...
