A huge tree started it all, with a bright sky and plants and flowers around the tree. I started by drawing and painting the big tree with its roots going down to the ground, then added a little apple tree to show how big the huge tree is. I shredded green pompoms to make the apple tree, sticking on red gems as apples. I used different colours of brown wooden beads for the bark of the tree and brown paper for the roots. I painted different blues and creams for the sky and added butterflies, made flowers from beads and sequins, I painted flowers and bees, and made a unique flower from string showing how unique nature is.
