A gift for a friend who couldn’t be in NYC for the 2020 holidays. Green resin “tree” with confetti snow containing a real piece of the 2019 Rockefeller Christmas Tree. My wife got a few little snippets of the big tree from the guys who were trimming it at the time and she gave me this one. <3 It is lit from within with a tiny led. The plinth is a birch disk that’s been hollowed out to hold the tiny lighting kit (from Evans Designs). The label is aluminum tape embossed with a Dymo tapewriter and dyed with alcohol inks.

This is my first resin project and I think I made every possible mistake with it! I love the material though, so I’m going to keep working at it.
