It’s a pity to banish string lighting to the holiday season. Rick uses it year-round to add color and funkiness to his huge bottle tree. As the evening draws in and light begins to fade, the glow intensifies.
“I love the fact that Jackson’s Mississippi Museum of Art hosted an installation of bottle trees – a whole forest of them – a couple of winters ago.” says Rick. “A bottle tree adds instant southern style and it’s as valid a form of folk art as any other.”
