Anyone who’s been to my Etsy store would know I have an affinity for trees.  I love painting trees – I never quite know how they’re going to turn out until the painting is done.

I think the symbol of the tree is a wonderful thing to feature in artwork, because it’s universal.  All over the world, people are familiar with trees – they may look different, and some may be surrounded by many trees and others very few, but it’s something we can all relate to.

I’d like to feature some of my favourite tree items from around Etsy:

Made with Love by Hannah features hand-screen printed skirts featuring fairytale forests.  My favourite is this one – “Snow White”:

Trees feature prominently in Beth Millner’s handcrafted stirling silver and copper jewellery, which I think it one of the reasons I love all of her work so much.  One of my favourites is this stunning piece – I love the crooked tree and the pretty leaves.  It’s reversible too!

Another gorgeous necklace is this Tree of Life silver botanical necklace by Glorious Girl Jewelry.  Simple and lovely, this necklace would compliment any outfit:

Finally, when writing about beautiful tree designs, I couldn’t leave out the Timothy Adam’s wonderful jewelry trees.  Handcrafted from steel, they are a wonderfully unique way to display your jewellery.  My favourite is this Japanese Cherry Tree – I love its asymmetrical design.
