Perhaps you've noticed, that while I do create Christmas themed rhinestone trees - the ones featuring Santa, Snowmen and the occasional Rudolph - I also have quite a few non-traditional rhinestone trees up for sale.

These are my favorites....they spring from a point of inspiration, and when I get an idea, my fingers can't stop creating with the rhinestone mosaics until the tree is complete.

Here's an example of one that I created early on as a tribute to VIncent Van Gogh's "Starry Night".  That painting has long been a favorite of mine, as to me, it encompasses the dark aspects of life, as well as the optimism that rises above it.

It sold within weeks of creating it, and its success has been the nucleus for the other non-traditional trees you see me make.

But you tell me, do you think I captured the essence of the original?
