The contrast between smooth glass and textured bark creates tension and depth. The intricately designed top is not integrated with the base.

Judges' comments

An exciting choice of contrasting branches allows the eye to dance through the design. The dominant weight of the lower trunk divides the design.

Judges' comments

A creative selection of woodland materials reflects Tiffany's window. The separation of floral portions divides the design.
