What's New in Home and Garden

Make Your Garden Come Alive
by Wendy Tucker

Garden decor has never seen such a fanciful form of garden art. They will make your garden come alive adding personality, humor and character.

What are they?

Tree Faces™!

Bruce Biggs of Quinton, Va., is credited with making the original tree faces. He had worked as a computer network engineer for twenty years, but always loved doing sculpture work and woodworking. He had the idea to sculpture tree art one evening, in 1982, while watching The Wizard Oz and started to develop his own version of tree art in the form of faces sculptured out of clay. He gave his tree art away as gag gifts but more and more people became interested in his form of garden art so he created his first mold which is known as "The Original".

Each Tree Face™ consists of two eyes a nose and a mouth that when hung on your tree can be serious, grumpy, silly or even the face of a raccoon, owl, bear, moose or wolf. Enthusiasm for Tree Faces™ is growing rapidly. You just can't help but smile at them. And what other type of garden decor invites young and old alike into the garden?

After purchasing a Tree Face™ all you really need to do is hang it. Made of statuary grade concrete they will last a lifetime. They are available hand painted and protected by a weather resistant coating or unpainted. Either way they can be hung right from the box. The unpainted faces will develop a natural patina over time that will make them beautifully unique or you can get creative. You say you don't have a tree.... Then place one on a fence, gate or door.

Getting creative with a tree face is something everyone in the family can enjoy. Imagine staining your tree face to match the tree bark or painting it in bold bright colors to make a whimsical newly discovered creature.. Dress your tree face with hats.. Decorate your tree face for holidays.. Add hands to your tree face by attaching gloves and once your tree face has hands, give him/her something to hold.

The Possibilities are Endless!

All you need is your Imagination and a Tree Face ™.

You can get your own Tree Face™ at www.ForestTreeFaces.com
