Collected, one ornament at a time.
Mix materials before adding more colours. Straw and gingerbread keep the tree warm and matte; a few glass ornaments supply the brightest reflections. Leave space around the most intricate stars.

The palette follows the authored material references in this collection. Room, object and material imagery were created for this study. These are imagined settings, with no affiliation to the fictional interface brands.
