The Articulate Arbor™
+Crystal Trees+
Welcome to the website of The Articulate Arbor™ handcrafted glass and crystal trees. Please explore the sublime world of nature and imagination as you journey through the website. Each item is meticulously designed and created with Swarovski crystal and Czech glass. Michael is inspired by the Bohemian glass sculptor Vaclav Cigler, Peter Carl Faberge, and the hardwood trees of Kentucky.
Please note that The Articulate Arbor™ no longer accepts PayPal payments. Please contact me via email and I will gladly work out a payment method with you.
There is more to come from the China collection: it will be published in the months to come.
As I age
in the world it will rise and spread,
and be for this place horizon
and orison, the voice of its winds.
I have made myself a dream to dream
of its rising, that has gentled my nights.
Let me desire and wish well the life
these trees may live when I
no longer rise in the mornings
to be pleased with the green of them
shining, and their shadows on the ground,
and the sound of the wind in them.
- Wendell Berry
