Tree faces give the spark of life to your trees! Remember as a kid, putting googley eyes on objects to bring them to life? Forest faces are the

same concept, except on a much grander scale. Painting faces on objects is built into human nature; we all desire companionship and want to be able to communicate with nature. For thousands of years humans have struggled to discover nature’s secrets, and yearn to be able to have a simple conversation with a 1000 year old tree, and ask him or her about the secrets of life, what the weather will be, and all the crazy things they’ve seen.

Adding a face to your tree brings you one step closer to this open line of communication with nature. You can actually look your tree in the face, and depending on the type of face chosen, you can give it a way array of personalities. Does your tree seem like a grumpy old man, too stubborn and rooted to move? Consider buying a scowling, angry tree face and bring that old trees personality to life. Perhaps your tree is full of youth and energy, try a tree with a baseball cap and a smile and watch as your tree brings a youthful vigor to the area.

The faces are also a blast to decorate with. If you have a couple trees together, try making up a story, one happy, one sad, one aloof, the possibilities are really only limited by your own imagination. You could even do the seven dwarfs on seven trees, and transform your backyard full of boring trees into lively personalities with a story to tell. It is easy to incorporate the faces with other decorations in your yard, such as fake animals and lawn ornaments.  They also can provide your pets with companionship in the backyard.

Tree faces are created by artists and come in absolutely any variety you could think of. Of course some are manufactured industrially, and are definitely less expensive than the hand made ones. The handmade ones however have the benefit of being unique, and are often hand carved out of wood, or molded ceramic.  The art of bringing trees to life has become a bit of a trend in art communities and can often be bought at local outlets or the artists’ online store. Many artists sell their tree faces through larger internet sellers like Amazon and especially Ebay.
