Artist's Statement

Here's my most recent wire bonsai sculpture.

This tree is made from 30 gauge silver floral wire, 11/0 green seed beads, and these little clear coin-shaped glass beads that have swirls and stripes of green in them. It's mounted on a lovely piece of slate.

This is my first time trying to create a different shaped bonsai, and also my first experiment with trying to create a thicker trunk without adding more wire. It's not perfect, but I think it's a step in the right direction. While I was doing so many firsts, I thought I'd try a more creative title for once. :P

I'd love any feedback you can give. :)
