Hot Wheels Tree

The Festival of trees & lights is a Gala to benefit the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada.
I partnered with the lead designer to come up with this tree. We only had a week. The ornaments are glass with melted crayons inside for color. Melted with a hair dryer...Yes it took forever, but got the marbling I wanted. Cars are just wired to the track. They auction these trees, so I did not want to ruin the track. Squares are photocopies found on the Internet and mounted on craft foam.A few odds and ends from a party store too. Hard to see at the top, but there is a miniature traffic light which blinks.

It's November

So I am currently putting away the last of Halloween and thinking about Christmas. Yes, I have to start now. I like to get it done before the first of December, so I can enjoy it. There is always a party, concert, get-together that keeps me from finishing everything. I have at least 6 to 8 trees in the house. Here are some pictures from years past.
