Bearded Palm Artwork

Should I or shouldn’t? I just had to add the beard. Although it is a very stylized palm tree, so many of them look like they need a trim. And of course- I love that. So, I used raffia and made the beard. Now, I think it just makes you look twice at it! I painted wood beads for the palm fronds and wood shapes for the trunk. The sand is mixed with crushed gold glass. The sun is also made from hand painted wood beads in metallic golds oranges and reds.
