In 1998 Christo and Jean-Claude wrapped 178 trees, with a woven polyester fabric, in the park around the Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland. This is my tribute to an artist whose work I have always admired.

Bella Gonshorovitz made the silk organza wrappings and their shape is held with flat copper strip. The trunks are three large ceramic handles, carving knife and fork and sharpening wand. I think this is Masons Ironstone but I haven't identified the pattern. Only one of the three was unbroken and that led to the different sizes of tree. They are designed to have the light coming from behind so that you can see the branches through the organza.
