MUSEUM SERIES TREE   For many years, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has been dear to my heart. So, as you can imagine, I was excited when the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin called Mall Silks to help out with a young lady’s wish. The contact from Make-A-Wish explained that the child’s wish was to have a fantasy tree in her room and have a swing hanging from the ceiling (to look like it was attached to the tree) so that she could swing in her tree inside. The tree that we designed for them was a half tree Museum Series tree. The tree is going to be installed on a wall in the room and the 12' diameter canopy will hang into the room. The trunk is a 24" molded bark trunk with several large branches and a few smaller branches coming out of it. It was made so that the large branches can be removed for shipping purposes. 

The final set of the branches will take place on site after the trunk is installed. The trunk is mounted on an 18" x 36" base plate that will also be fastened to the floor for stability.  The foliage is our artificial Pin Oak foliage which makes for a wonderful whimsical tree look. The trunk and branches are all custom painted and detailed by our artists. The tree will be sent out Monday March 22 and will be installed at a later date when convenient for the Make-A-Wish coordinator. We had a lot of fun creating and building this tree and it is our hope that the young lady that wished for it will enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you to organizations like Make-A-Wish that continue to offer hope and love to the precious children in difficult circumstances.

Mall Silks introduced a line of superior quality artificial trees last year called the “Signature Series”, and there has been great response from the clients that have purchased them. These trees are literally works of art.  Our on-staff team of professional artists builds these trees--giving extra attention to detail. Only our best foliages are used and intricate trunk sculpting and special varieties of wood add to their uniqueness. Every plant is truly ‘one of a kind’. This line of superior plants was created specifically for an upscale office or conference room situation where there is little or no light but the client wants a perfect and unique plant. Give them a try--we're sure that you will want one for every distinctive property. 

Signature Series trees come in sizes from 24” up to over 8’ tall.  Visit here to see examples:  http://mallsilks.com/signatureseries.htm

Mall Silks sells botanical accent materials for you to use in your projects. On our website under the heading of “Natural Elements” we list some of the products that we sell to our clients in the form of raw material botanical accents. There you will find such items as bamboo poles, birch poles, tree stems and logs, etc. If there are items that you don't see on our site, we can more than likely supply them for you. We deal with rare and exotic woods such as driftwood, manzanita, and specific genus and species of bamboo. If you are in need of custom made botanical art pieces, we create those as well. 

In the past, we have created bamboo walls, birch trunk walls, bare branch trees such as winter birch with no leaves and snag trees for large aviary bird perches.  If you are in the process of designing a project that will need natural botanical elements or custom botanical sculptures, please let us know.  We are sure to be able to assist you with your endeavor. 

 

Mall Silks Division Manager Covey Wise will be attending the upcoming NIN (National Interiorscape Network) trade show and conference in April.  We look forward to seeing all of our loyal NIN clients and discussing the possibilities of upcoming projects in 2010. See you in D.C.!
