The Birch Trees
A birch tree was the second tree I ever made. Since going to fairs and displaying my work in public, the birch trees have been the most popular. You may notice I tend to give them somewhat Scandinavian names, as I associate birch trees with the more northern parts of the midwest where many Scandinavian immigrants made their home back in the day.
