"It's called an anxiety tree.. The flowers on the tree have kind messages that should make you feel better, and there are gems in the center of the flowers that I crushed to make smaller so they would fit, and on some of them there's a piece of felt that you can put essential oil on. First, I started to twist wire to get the basic shape of the roots and trunk. Then, I started working on the form that the leaves would take. Instead of a bunch of branches that would take forever to make, I made a kind of a base to cover with fabric for the leaves. As I built my tree, I noticed that a lot of the people I know have anxiety, and I think that if some place sold these, a lot of anxiety in our community would probably go away.”
