I was doing some research on lace for a project I’m working on and came across this beautiful lace-wrapped tree on Flickr. It’s back from 2004 and was located on Wards Island in Toronto, Canada. You can see more of this piece called Early Frost by Janet Morton here, here, and here…

Hi!
I am from Brazil and i’m your fan!
Everthing in your blog is very very beautiful!
I’m an architect and i love the delicate things that you show us.
Congratulations!
breathtaking!!
i think my heart just stopped. this is seriously gorgeous.
Made me think of pictures of another tree that I’ve seen somewhere, crocheted all around the trunk in bright colors. That was cute, this one is pretty 🙂
Wow, that is breathtaking! Love that!
Wow – what a gorgeous image.
So lovely, Joy. Can you imagine just stumbling upon something like this? How unexpected and smile-inducing this would be? Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh I’ve seen the knitted versions of this in small fragments, but never an entire lace tree! So gorgeous.
omg, beautiful!!!! This would make a GREAT wedding card!
this literally took my breath away!
i am fortunate enough to live in toronto and love going to the island, you can find stuff like that all over the city!
i love all your beautiful posts!
Lovely lovely! I did a project where I knitted on a tree – kind of reminds me of this.
Ah! This looks like work by Toronto artist Janet Morton, who lived on Ward’s, and who is lovely, lovely!
looks like the silkworms meant business that day ;). so beautiful.
that is so pretty!
that is so pretty!
wow! that is incredible! i’m a lace addict so that picture really inspires me! thank you for sharing 🙂
Whoa.
When I first saw the pic, I thought, hey, this is like stuff you would find on the Island (I’m from Toronto, and I just cycled there last week.) And then I started reading – bingo! There’s plenty of this kind of art in the gardens there – glass bottle art, rust art, woolen knitting around pier structures… they’ve got time on their hands.
OMG! i can’t say nothing more… nice lace ;P
oh wow! i love this!
It is great.
And congrats on the article in How!
So, so beautiful. Over here we are heading into Winter and I’d love to wrap up some trees like this.
PS love the blog.
oh. my. gosh. i am in awe!
This is so brilliantly random, or randomly brilliant. It makes me want to go and vandalise the local park with materials and such.
Such a lovely, lovely idea.
Oooh. I love it!!
one word to say: wow! and how did these people come up with such a simple yet brilliant idea? i always envy them who have such creative brain.
I love, love, love that!! What an inspiration. I’ve seen little tree sweaters but nothing as beautiful as this. I’d love to “lace” one of my own trees. I wonder what the neighbors would think….
AMAZING.
Wow!Impresive- how long did it take to make? One person or more?
Lindo demais…
Amazing!!!
