As our living gallery and ever-expanding gardens continue to grow, "
Tupelo" - the 20 foot steel bottle tree and trellis - remains the centerpiece at
Forgotten Works... As a child growing up in The South (caps intended of course), I was amazed and fascinated by the
legend of bottle trees. After travelling rural roads to and from the Blue Ridge, I would beg my parents to let me make one in our yard. I suspect the Home Owner's Association didn't share my vision or imagination;)
Tupelo was built by my darling husband, Eddie, two summers ago while I was away for a week at a yoga event. He had been peeking in my sketch book, and decided to go for it... At last! I had my bottle tree! And what a magnificent example of one... So, if you have been hoping for a piece of Eddie Phillips art:
By popular demand, we have designed smaller versions suitable for any Homestead! Whether you have a condominium courtyard or a sprawling estate, our contemporary twist on these American classics can adorn your garden, too! 
Forgotten Works bottle trees, like all of our other pieces, are made from 100% reclaimed steel. Unlike other bottle trees available, ours have a twisty, realistic styling that also allows the art to serve as a functional trellis for ornamental or edible vines!
Bottle trees will debut at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival in Dallas, April 1-3, 2011. Several sizes are available and of course, custom work can be done 'on site'... Don't let the
h'aint's get ya! See
ya'll at Deep
Ellum! Other local art shows and Forgotten Works events are listed at our
"happenings" page.
