wire trees

Just adding to what's already out there. I'd love to class it up and make some with gemstones. To see how to make a thin wire tree with beads, look up CamilleSharon, she has a really nice and clear tutorial.

Any ideas and thoughts welcome.

very good ideas home chemistry kit,ive just got into making wire trees glued to rocks but im going to use polished wood,prefer roots idea too, you are cool,no roots = dead tree.not sure about the drying of a (erm what do you call it) orange skin,my next task is making a pendant.

@rosco8361 I'm glad you liked the vid, good luck on your crafting! I always felt my hands were too big to make those pendants. Are you talking about the trees that are in a circle?

[rosco8361]

@terpentynae Thank you for the reply,yeah its the pendants in a circle,square,triangle anything,its just getting the scale right i think,you said you wanted a challenge

[terpentynae]

@rosco8361 you are absolutely right! I will try one soon enough hopefully.

whats sometimes fun is to dip the copper in ammonia, let it tarnish, then take a blowtorch to it and turn the tarnish purple. try it out and experiment.

@dillonWY seriously? That would be SO awesome, what % solution?

Went online to research how to make homemade realistic model trees and came across this. I enjoyed it and learned something new and different. I'd like to see how far the projects have evolved since last year!

@terpentynae I would use a 2:1 ratio water to ammonia, if you dont have access to ammonia you can even put it in a cat litter box and the urine will work the same. Experiment on some spare wire before you commit to a full piece, careful with the blowtorch, copper conducts heat super fast.
