OK, so...

Maybe I'll start with a few (two) nice Ficus trees. Garlands?

Paintings of vines and leaves and/or trees? Stencils? Stamps?

I loved your idea of using real leaves for the stamps. For a couple of reasons: One, that would make it so much more life like if I did paint a tree-mural on my wall (been wanting to do that for a while.) Two: You could use five or six different sized leaves, and THAT would make it so much more lifelike.

It's tempting to run out, pick some leaves and try it now. The Problem: It's December... Sigh.

Tendrils... yours are cast iron, and I love them, but I don't have a budget for cast iron... I think maybe I should make a stencil for my tree. Remember the tree that you drew on the mug you made for me? I've been drawing trees like that for years. Trees in bud.
