Hallo,
heute geht es nun weiter mit Familie Zauberbaum... und ich kann Euch sagen: Selten war eine Überschrift passender als diese! Oja... Birgit musste viele Blätter machen für ihre Baumfamilie... sehr viele Blätter... und dann noch sehr viel mehr Blätter. Und immer, wenn Birgit dachte "Naja... vielleicht reicht es ja jetzt"... tja, nach dem Ankleben zeigte sich dann wieder sehr schnell, dass das wieder nur der berühmte Tropfen auf den ebenso bekannten heißen Stein war. *schmunzel*
... today we're going to continue with Family Magictree... and I can tell you: Never did a headline (Leaves, leaves... and even more leaves) fit better than this! O yes... Birgit had to make loads of leaves for her tree family... plenty of leaves... and then even much more leaves. And whenever Birgit was thinking by herself "Well... maybe this will be enough now"... see, after glueing them in place it showed up at once that this was once more the famous drop on the well-known hot stone. *smile*
Also hat Birgit immer mehr Blätter gemacht... und dann noch mehr Blätter. Und dabei geht es nicht nur um die reine Quantität... auch von der Qualität her war das durchaus anspruchsvoll, denn jedes einzelne Blatt braucht mehrere Bearbeitungsschritte, bis es endlich so weit ist, dass es angeklebt werden kann. Ich zeige Euch das mal:
So Birgit continued to make more leaves... and then even more leaves. And this isn't only about the mere quantity... also from the point of quality this was quite challenging because every single leaf needed many working steps until it could finally be glued in place. I'm going to show this to you:
Es beginnt mit dem Ausstanzen der Blätter - praktischerweise hat Birgit einen Blattstanzer in zwei Größen. Dann werden die Adern aufgezeichnet, das Blatt wird komplett gefärbt - selbstverständlich von beiden Seiten...
It all starts with punching the leaves - Birgit is lucky to own a leaf punch in two different sizes. Then the leaf veins have to be drawn and afterwards the leaf is dyed completely - of course on both sides...
... und zum Schluß wird es geprägt und ist dann endlich bereit zum Ankleben an den Baum - so wie auf diesem Foto, wo Ihr einen Zwischenstand von Papa Zauberbaum sehen könnt:
... and after punching/shaping it's finally done and ready to be glued onto the tree - as you can see at this picture showing the beginnings of Daddy Magictree:

Und so hat Birgit viele Wochen lang immer wieder immer noch mehr Blätter gemacht... aber irgendwann... ja, irgendwann hat Birgit dann beschlossen, dass die Belaubung so wie sie ist völlig ausreicht. Und Ihr wisst ja... bei derartigen Entscheidungen ist Birgit hier der Boss... *lach* Ich darf Euch daher nun mit der fertigen Familie Zauberbaum bekannt machen!
And so Birgit has spent many weeks with making more and more and yet more leaves... but all of a sudden... yes, somewhen Birgit has decided that this amount of leaves will do. And you know it... when it comes to decisions like these Birgit is the boss around here... *LOL* So I may now introduce you to the finished Family Magictree!

Aber natürlich werde ich Euch die Familienmitglieder noch einmal einzeln vorstellen. Und da ich - wie Ihr ja wisst - ein Gentlebär vom Scheitel bis zur Sohle bin, fangen wir natürlich mit Mama Zauberbaum an. Ladies first! (Aber vorher noch mal ein kleiner Hinweis... kommt bitte mal näher... ich muss leise sprechen... *flüster* Bitte keine Bemerkungen über Mama Zauberbaums Nase!!! Da ist sie empfindlich... und glaubt mir: Ihr wollt keinen magischen Baum verärgern! Also... pssssssst...)
But of course I'm going to introduce every family member now on its own. And being the well-known gentlebear from top to toe that I am I'm going to start with Mama Magictree of course. Ladies first! (But first of some piece of advice... please come a little closer... I need to talk in a low voice... *whisper* Please - no comments about Mama Magictree's nose!!! She's quite touchy about this... and believe me: You really don't want to make a magical tree get angry about you! So... shhhhhhh...)

Eine echte Baumschönheit, die übrigens auf den schönen Namen Blossom hört... kein Wunder, dass Papa Zauberbaum hin und weg von ihr ist... *schmunzel*
A true tree beauty - and her name is Blossom... no surprise Daddy Magictree is crazy for her... *smile*
Und hier kommt der Junior!
And here comes Junior!

Ein wirklich lustiger kleiner Kerl!
He's one funny little chap for sure!

Und damit kommen wir zum Familienoberhaupt - Barks!
And now we come to the head of the family - Barks!

Wie Ihr sehen könnt, kann ich mir bei Papa Zauberbaum an heißen Tagen bequem Schatten suchen...
As you can see I would have no problems getting shade from Daddy Magictree on hot days...

Scheint mit der Mode zu gehen von wegen 3-Tage-Bart... *grins*
Seems to be up to fashion with his 3-days-beard... *grin*

Was für ein schönes Paar! Bis dass die Axt uns scheidet... *kicher*
What a lovely couple! Until the axe do us part... *giggle*
Junior: Wenn ich groß bin, will ich ein Baumhaus haben...
Barks: *seufz*
Junior: When I'm grown I want to have a tree house...
Barks: *sigh*
Blossom: Halt Dich gerade, mein Sohn... Du willst doch später nicht unter Baumscheibenvorfall leiden...
Junior: *seufz*
Blossom: Stand straight, son... You don't want to suffer from tree disc herniation when you're grown...
Junior: *sigh*
Und zum Schluß noch mal ein Familienporträt - bitte einmal alle "Leeeeaaaaaaves" sagen!!!
And at the end once more a family portrait - all say "Leeeaaaaaves" please!!!
Übrigens kann ich Euch schon mal eines verraten... auch wenn Familie Zauberbaum nun fertig ist - aber das war's noch nicht für Birgit mit dem Blätter-Machen, oh nein... Sie ist da keineswegs aus der Übung gekommen - aber wofür sie noch mehr Blätter gebraucht hat... also... noch sehr viel mehr Blätter... nun... das zeige ich Euch ein anderes Mal! ;O)
Btw I can already tell you this - although Family Magictree is now finished - but Birgit is not yet through with making leaves, no way... She had no chance at all to get out of practise - but why she needed even more leaves... ehm... many more leaves... well... this I'm going to show you another time! ;O)
Liebe Grüße / Hugs
Flutterby

These trees are beautiful. The leaves and the flowers have grown well.
Hallo Flutterby,
jetzt weiß ich endlich, wie im Frühling die Blätter auf die Bäume kommen *lach*!
Bin schon neugierig, wofür Ihr noch mehr Blätter benötigt...

Ha! So they have names! Brigit, I have to admit you are a very patient Lady! I am sure my trees would never look as good as yours when it comes to leaves! Great work! And of course I can't wait to see what will you do with more leaves!:)
Hugs and kisses from Lady A., Peevee and me :)
Hallo magic tree family, I must say that you all are looking very good and very well-leaved ;O!! Oh Birgit, I 've read this post with a big smile, only you can write this text this way, so much fun. But making that number of leaves, no, that's not much fun, I know ;D! You've done great work with a beautiful result!
Liebe Grüsse, Schepje (who gives Birgit right now a soft big kiss on her sore fingers) und Ilona
What work you have put into this process and it has rewarded. So nice these trees. I love the original term.
Hugs to you both

Awww, they are Wonderful!!! I love the whole Family Magictree... and their names are Perfect!!! Not to mention their "bark" and their "blossoms" and their noses!!! LOL! What a fantastic creation they are! I sure hope Gertie's rooftop Garden has room for them all! What a wonderful place that will be.... uh oh... getting Ideas here! LOL! And Birgit has worked Magic with all those endless leaves with the endless details... I am taking notes because I have a few Leafy ideas I need to work on! I can't wait to see the next projects that are keeping Birgit in "leaf mode"! LOL! And Fluby certainly looks happy with the "forest" LOL!
What a lovely family! Each tree has so much character and personality. Awesome job, Birgit! xo Jennifer
Wow! what a beautiful trees! they look very well!
Hugs,
Magda
Birgit has patiently done a great job on this magical tree family. I'm sure, being kind as Birgit is, she'll secretly give mama a nose job. Can't wait to learn what all those additional leaves are for.Hugs, Drora
Hello Flutterby,
Birgit has the patience of a saint. What wonderful trees. They look enchanting!
Big hug,
Giac
What beautiful trees they all turned out. Blossom is very pretty with all her flowers. Your magic hands have worked their magic again Birgit and these trees are very magical. More leaves? I wonder what other magic is in store for us :D
Hugs Maria
