Designer Minoo Hersini has created a fantastic way to bring the natural loveliness of fall inside - just in time for your big Thanksgiving event! 

 

Minoo has taken the time to share some of her thoughts and inspirations for creating these great centerpieces:

How were you inspired to create these great centerpieces?

"By the observing the nature and taking in all elements an incorporating it to everyday life."

How would you recommend that people display them in their homes?

"In a minimal display ... as an accent, or multitude display as a centerpiece."

Can you use other kinds of bark to make them?

"Sure you can, you can also use... Moss ... Leaves...grass"

Is there an environmentally-friendly way to harvest the bark without hurting the tree?

"If you take a walk into the woods, you can simply picked them up, as barks naturally peals away, as the trees ages."

    I've crafted with birch tree bark. It's so cool for post cards and paper-type crafts. I never thought of creating anything 3D. Thanks for sharing!
