They were all hand-tooled (I've added a pic of them before I dyed/painted them...well, 4 of them, at least)

I started out with the emerald green eco-flo, then added some different green acrylics on top of it (thinned out, mostly painted on lightly, then blotted with a rag).

I used a bright green around the back of the tree to ensure no water would get into the cut lines and also for the color/appearance factor.

The tree is done in black acrylic paint

I then sealed the top with an acrylic spray finish.

I took pictures before I added a bit of cork and green felt around the sides and bottom to help with any moisture overflow.
