Beaded in Brass Base - Beaded Wire Tree Sculpture
5" x 5"x 4" The tree is made of 24 and 26 gauge steel wire with parts of the trunk rusted to a soft brown color. Woven into the branches are yellow green and white fringe beads. The tree is bonded into a round tarnished brass base using sea sand and small pebbles and a small rock. The sea sand is painted yellow and green India ink to look like moss covered earth.

You can learn how to create this and many other beaded and wire trees with my book... "CREATING Gem, Beaded, & Bonsai WIRE TREES" - Available on this website!

HOW I PACK AND SHIP MY WIRE SCULPTURE ALL OVER THE WORLD... The way I ship my tree sculpture is by using a box within a box. For example, if the sculpture is 8 x 8 x 8 inches, I wire the tree onto the inside bottom of another box that is a least 10 x 10 x 10 inches. The tree sculpture is secured into the center on the bottom of this inner box so that none of the branches ever touch any of the sides or inside top of the inner box. The inner box is then sealed and put into the larger outer box and bubble wrap is placed around all the sides, top and bottom of the box that has the tree sculpture wired into it. This creates a bubble wrap cushion around the entire box that contains the tree sculpture. I have been told by some of my customers that the shipping boxes have arrived upside down and battered, however, due to the securing of the tree inside the smaller box and the cushioning around all the sides of this box, the tree sculpture arrives safe and sound. I have shipped thousands of tree sculptures, as far away as Japan, India and China. I have never had any problems, or have any of the tree sculptures been returned or damaged. Insurance on all pieces is included in the shipping.
