Here's another of the decorative rings I make as gifts for friends.

A decorative wreath

I make these decorative wreaths out of Australian native wattle and gum trees. They age beautifully and when dry often change to a magnificent deep rust colour.

All branches are sourced locally from my property in Berry.

This one has been aging gracefully in the sun and you can see the rust colour appearing as a result.

Bark and Bamboo

I found this magnificent piece of bark on my property one day and used it as a feature in a pot outside the front door of our B & B. The colours of the bark compliment the richness of the bamboo and I think combined, are very effective.
