December 20.Created by Steve and Lisa

Willingham

The Ashe Arts Centercelebrates the holiday seasonand Ashe County Christmas trees with beautifully decorated trees. This winter wonderlandhas been created with something for everyone and represents community involvement with the arts.

Elvis’Blue

Christmas:Decorations in royal

blue, baby blue, silver,white, and lots of sparkle willadorn this tree showcasing the

fame and glamour of Elvis’ life andcareer. Elvis’ number one selling

Christmas hit song, “Blue Christmas,” was theinspiration for the tree; it was created by Agnes

Baldwin, Joyce Cain, Catherine Finch, Susan Huntand Wyvonna (Terri) Ring.

Butterfly Tree: High Country Hospice decoratesthis Tree of Hope with yellow and orange organza ribbons,raffia bows, and butterflies. Handcrafted butterfly orna-ments designed by Candice Cook are made from recycled

paper and are infused with wildflower seeds. The ornaments canbe planted and will bloom in honor of a loved one.

Immigrant Hope: Amanda, Darby and Daisy Chapuz and mem-bers of the Cristo el Salvador Hispanic Misson share a holiday tree with aseasonal message of hope for everyone. Colorful Mexican paper flowers,garlands, and candles all in bright Christmas colors will create a tree cele-

brating our multi-cultural community. A bright star of hope will decorate thetop of the tree.

Hairbows: Molly Gambill and Helen Sexton have done it again! Do trees have“bad hair days” with leaves and needles sticking out in all the wrong directions? See

this cleverly created tree adorned with colorful bows, glittery clips, rubber bands, and bar-rettes by the dozens. White lights and garlands of white tulle and a tree topper appropriate for

this year and the season will bring a smile to everyone’s face!

My Christmas Kitchen Tree: Nancy Carter has added a charming primitive wood and fence wiretree, reminiscent of pioneer days, that usually sits in the kitchen of her log cabin home. Hanging from its rusty

branches are all the miniature kitchen tools needed to make cookies, and gingerbread men made of various materials.You can almost smell those cookies baking in the oven when you look at the tree!

Barn Quilts: The Arts Council’s popular Barn Quilt Project is the theme of a table topper tree created by Joy Campbell, Theresa EarlyCurd, Josette Glover, Kathy Howell, Dana Johnson, Michele Obenchain, Nancy Shoemaker, and Lisa Willingham. Ornaments reflecting the quilt

patterns from many of the Ashe County Barn Quilts have been created with quilted squares, painted wooden patterns, and beaded boxes.

Cabernet Carousel: This tree features the vibrant colors of wine – the dark red of a fine Cabernet Sauvignon, the translucent red of Merlot, thesubtle red of a Pinot Noir. These deep colors are highlighted by the crisp whites – Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and the tree is topped by

a sparkling spray of Champagne. The fragrance of the Christmas tree mingles with the scent of wine corks that have been saturated in fine wines.Snow-covered grape clusters cast a holiday feel on wine’s sunny origins, and the tree skirt features labels from around the world. This is a tree to stir the

taste buds! It was designed and decorated by Ed and Ellie Perzel and Freda, Charles, and Mark Huffstetler.

The Green Tree: In many cultures green is the symbol for hope and growth. Today green means taking care of our earth by recycling, reducing,renewing and conserving. Paper windmills on the tree illustrate alternative energy sources from the wind. Hand beaded prisms symbolize energy from thesun. Reusing items for decorations include the plastic sleeves from the morning newspaper becoming flowers, old CD’s adding sparkle, yogurt bottles remind-

ing us to save plastic for the convenience centers. Old Christmas cards were cut into shapes for ornaments many sporting pictures of animals, a reminderthat their habitats are in danger in our changing environment. Jennie Bush’s Green Tree inspires us for hope and growth.

My Favorite Things:The Ashe County Arts Council’s tree features

handcrafted holiday decorations fromlocal artists Tara Belk, Linda Bruce,

Betsy Isaacs, Sharon Kasel, JaneMaddox, Pat Morrison, New

Beginnings of Ashe, Cheryl Roberts,Becky Rose, Kristin Sevensky, CherShaffer, Ellen Sinford, Lyn Soeder,

Holly Soukup, Summit SupportServices, Jennifer Gardiner

paper and fabric. Theornaments are forsale and make great

presents!
