The New Christmas Tree empowers readers to go beyond red and green. Inspired by food, nature, fashion, folk art, typography, color and art history, Carrie Brown's whimsical tree designs breathe new life into the familiar form and turn a holiday standby into a design statement. A closer look at each tree reveals the real heart of these designs¿beautifully handcrafted ornaments, garlands, and more, from felted bumblebees to delicate papercraft flowers. Some use traditional Christmas materials in novel ways (antique mercury and clear glass ornaments take center stage in the dramatic Silver Tree; the Tinsel Tree takes a holiday standby up a notch), while others employ flea market finds, household objects¿even foodstuffs!¿to create something entirely unexpected. Each chapter takes readers through the process of constructing a beautifully balanced tree that is rich in texture and dimension from topper to trunk¿selecting the appropriate lights, making and assembling the decorations, and adding the finishing touches that pull the look together. Also included are chapters on the fundamentals of tree selection, installation, and design; basic crafting techniques; sources for products, tools, and equipment; and care information.
