Tree or not tree
Ainda estou em dúvidas quanto a como será nossa árvore de Natal esse ano.
De maneira geral não sou muito simpática aos pinheiros. Acho tão lugar comum, e tão excessivamente europeu. Tudo bem que tendo sido colonizado por Portugal o Brasil é o um país de tradição cristã. Mas daí a celebrarmos tal como na Europa já é demais.
Nunca entendi porque aqui trocamos cartões com paisagens nevadas quando o Natal aqui é sempre escaldante. Estamos num país com outro clima e por isso as coisas devem ser adaptadas, ora bolas!
Então talvez em homenagem às grandes secas que ocorrem sempre nesse período, sempre gostei de decorar gravetos que encontro pelo chão. Assim foi a minha árvore de Páscoa em 2006 (não sei porque me deu de fazer uma árvore de Páscoa, mas enfim...) e a de Natal do ano passado. Essa, que não ficou registrada por razão desconhecida, foi coberta de spray dourado e nela pendurei bolas vermelhas foscas e brilhosas e tsurus de origami em papel dourado. Ficou fofa!
A desse ano certamente estará nessas linhas, mas ainda não sei bem como...

About my xmas tree this year
I’m still not so sure about how I’m gonna make my Xmas tree this year.
Overall I’m not very big on pine trees. I think overused, excessively european and a crime against nature to use live trees.
Obviously as a country colonized by the Portuguese, Brasil is by tradition a christian country. But to celebrate Xmas as they do in Europe I think it’s a bit too much.
I never understood why here we exchange xmas cards with snowy landscapes when we are actually boiling hot. . We live in a different clime weather, is just as logical to adapt things!
So perhaps my homage goes to the draughts that always happen this period of the year down here. I always take dry branches already on the ground. So this way was my Easter tree in 2006 (I don’t know why I made a Easter tree…) and my Xmas tree last year. This one I didn’t take a picture but I sprayed it over in gold and I hung red bobbles and origami cranes in gold paper. It looked really cute!
This year’s tree will probably gonna be like that too, but I just don’t know exactly how…Anyhow, my wreath is already done, and it was inspired by this girl on Flickr.
