So why was I making the People Trees? Creator Jam had a theme this week of "Things that Look Normal Until You Get Close."
Most folks had some literal interpretations of that, including a flower that steals your soul (by forcing you into the flower), or a patch of sunflowers that grow eyes that follow you if you get too close (and drop you in a nightmare world while they're at it).
In my case, I noticed we were going for a forest theme for the world, and I thought "wouldn't it be wierd to be walking through a lovely forest, and then you look over to one of them and there's a person in there?
Despite opening it up for folks to be trees, only one person took me up on the offer, and so we have a dragon tree as well. A lot of people seemed to like the concept, though, and through both building sessions (I only go to the first, but watch the second), it had a lot of people talking. Really felt part of the jam, and proud of my work.
