My living room now has three wintry trees painted on the walls-- two in the righthand corner, and one on the left by the door. Leaves are very sparse yet. The walls are painted in semi gloss so the stencil paint takes over two DAYS to dry...!
Anyway it's progress. Covered our floor-lampstands with ivy, too. Now the lampshades look awkward. I've been daydreaming about my wall-scripture in an elvish font... Mark 12:30 is the likely winner, and it will probably go on a slanted ceiling/wall, and then get covered (or partly covered) with ivy stencil. I found an ivy stencil that is appropriately wispy and wandering, I think.

How big are the trees? Like feet or inches?

Baseboard to ceiling.
I'm going to need a LOT of leaves... They looked better bare then partly covered with sparse leaves! I've taken pictures... (pause) The first two pictures show with recently added new leaves (sparse because the stencil paint dries SO SLOWLY!!!), the last two pictures were the original bare trees. I almost like bare better...

Leaves
If you're looking for leaves, you could always sponge them on. There is a mural at my school that has a tree with sponged on leaves, and it looks really nice!

Now here's a way to live amongst trees without painting them: an elven flet on the West Coast

umm, that's a little over the top for me. I think I'd rather have a simple platform.
