This is an art piece made of guitar strings. These strings once made musical art, and now they're making visual art. After the strings were taken off of a guitar, they've been cut, bent, and shaped into a tree. The small multi-colored beads are the ends of the string, where the string attaches to the body of the guitar. The canvas is solid poplar, and the strings have been set in place by epoxy.

"Growing Our Tree" is a series of 16 trees. The tree symbolizes the growing of our family. My wife and I are adopting, and this series is a fundraiser to help with the giant cost of adoption.
 
Note: The back label got smudged on this one. Oops! That just adds character, though, right?
