Have a Riffstick Art Christmas!

You say that you want to make sure that you keep your Christmas eco-friendly?

You remember David Hrobowski
(the H is silent - pronounced ro-bow-ski) from his original creation of chairs, lamps, coffee tables and more - made out of ice cream sticks?
Just look at the Riffstick Artwork - it is soooo creative and beautiful!
As of this moment, David Hrobowski has created something so magical for the holidays in the form of a Christmas tree!

David says, "The tree stands at almost 7 feet tall and 42 inches at the widest point. There are 88 branches ranging in size from 17" to 3" and of course 88 ornaments. The ornaments are in three colors (red, green & blue) and wrap around the tree like garland. The top of the tree lights up and has a removable crown so one can easily change the light bulb and/or bulb color.
There are in excess of 18,000 sticks used to make the tree and 5 months to complete. I started the tree in June and completed it in November. "
David is a brilliant man that completes what he starts.

You can view this beautiful tree and more of Riffstick Art, in the window of Reborn Antiques, located at 853 N. LaCienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069 - 310. 289.7785
