Final version 8 August. The top branch on this one is dogwood from here. The two large driftwoods on the sides were collected by Sam up near St. Louis somewhere. The lighter colored one may be red cedar; I added two stones to it. The darker colored one had rocks embedded in it. The bottom piece was also from Sam's trip and is also apparently red cedar. The pair of little ones are driftwood I've had for a long time. I think they are from when I was in Europe, though possibly from the Potomac or Lake Michigan. I think it weighs about 10 pounds, if that.
the Guardian Pine is a vertical studio
Not very many performance artists who visit can resist climbing up this one.
keenan did much of the building work: took out logs and put in the scrap paper he'd sorted out from the trash. On top of those put in couple big logs. Then the contents of the compost bin. Then greenery and dirt and a layer of wood chips. then the rest of the branches that were in there, more dirt, another load of wood chips. Want two or three more big logs and a slew of smaller branches, followed by grass clippings, leaves, some dirt and then wood chips.
