They're big ~1 ft long or so. They're also vey expensive. I don't have any, but there is a spot for Oaxacan woodcarvings on my "someday" wish list.

Anyhoo, I'm just using the colors from the palatte on my tree. So far so good. I have most of my saturated colors up and am working on the pastels now. I painted up some cheap-o balsa wood stars from Walmart. Took pics, but the battery died so sharing them will have to wait.

Tomorrow I'm going to make some crepe/tissue paper flowers... the kind my hispanic friends taught me to make in the 4th grade. :)

Big'ol was just wishing the VA wing of the family were coming up this year. *They'd* find the tree very annoying.

I can’t get too theme-ish with a tree. Family has too many traditional ornaments to put on that are favorites. But I’m starting with a base coat of color. Sort of an aquamarine-ish color.

Then they can do what they want.

I did buy another palm tree this morning for the nativity. It’s appropriate. There are date palms in Bethlehem.
