Here is a pair of dancers on a leaning tree. Your eyes need to be sharp as you hike by, but there - between the trees you can spot the pair.
This is a great project because it is quick with maximum impact. We collected about a dozen figures from tree branches, and because weather threatened, we hung them in the garage to paint. It was definitely a spooky site.
We continue to paint them all red, although have discussed other options. The contrast of the complementary colors of red and green in the forest is such a rich combination.
Trying to make the most dynamic composition by adjusting the angle......
I wonder if they will be seen or not? Wonder if it will make people smile. I hope so.
Notes: I posted step-by-step instructions on how to locate and make these dancing sticks in an earlier post. Check it out here. The idea of sharing them with other hikers is new. If you make any, let us know and send pictures! If you find ours, let us know also!

I so wish I could walk along your woodland track to discover these fun dancers. Thanks again for sharing the photos....so lovely and the wonderful idea. I look at branches differently now. :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too! As I wander I am looking up - like a tourist in NYC, only no buildings!
DeleteThese are darling and magical. If I walked along and spotted one, I'd laugh and my heart would be light.
ReplyDeleteMagical is a great word for them! We have people that often leave rock towers and other sculptures behind as they roam. We enjoy the discovery. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteMagical is a good word but I also like Whimsical for these dancing guys. What a great to find while out on a walk. I love this!
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I ask where you live? Not specifically just generally. I live in FL and I am thinking that I need to think of something whimsical and fun to create and leave behind like your red dancers. :o)
Thank you for the smiles and inspiration. Hope you are enjoying your week!
K @ Storytime Fun!
Btw, I found you by way of Take It On Tuesday Blog Hop.
I live in Connecticut. Spread the concept through out the Florida woods! Send photos. As I have said in the post, this is a quick and easy project. Leaving them in the woods is just fun. Doesn't really matter if folks move them. It is just good to spread the smiles!
DeleteI love these red dancing sticks. I especially love that they are red - I'm sure someone will notice them in the woods.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this at Romance on a dime!
David and I have decided the red is important. I expect yarn bombed might be a good idea as well.
Deleteha! those are all just too cute! thank you so much for linking this cute idea over here at Fishtail Cottage's garden party! have a fabulous weekend! xxoo, tracie
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely whimsical. They just make everyone smile and that is a good thing.
DeleteWhat a neat idea... fun, fun! Larry
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry. Yes, they are fun, so much so I have another batch drying in the garage right now. We have identified more leaning logs to be decorated.
