It was two years since I started UpTrees, climbing a tree every day – 17th May 2010 – which is also Norwegian independence day, from Sweden. I don’t understand, – I thought it was independence from Denmark all this time! As it turns out Norway wanted their own king after the independence and invited a Danish Prince to do the job! – It’s a crazy world.
Getting the book together is becoming more of a reality now having met the brilliant book designer Welmoet Wartena who is keen to explore what the book could be! So… I’m going to try publishing a twitter post each day of this year with the tree I climbed on that day. This one below: Tree 293 – in the tree on Ski’s because Norwegians love skiing… More on that next year when I get to it!
Please sign up to the twitter feed, (top right), if you use that sort of thing, or the UpTrees facebook group, or this blog. I’ll be posting news of the book and maybe launching a crowd funding campaign before long too.
You can still order art prints and commission a tree dedication from the shop.
If you want to start from the beginning you can jump back to May 17th 2010 here.
