Wire Trees in all Shapes and Sizes
Medium and large Bonsai Trees are typically between 8-12" tall and hand-twisted using 20-gauge colored aluminum wire.
· From start to finish it typically takes 8 to 10 hours or more to create one tree.
· 200 to 410 feet of wire is used in creating one medium-sized tree.
· The “blossoms” on every tree will typically use 2 to 3 feet of wire for each blossom.
· A medium-sized tree will have 50 -75 blossoms equaling 100 to 225 feet of wire per tree, just for the blossoms.
· Blossoms are individually attached to branches & trunk, eventually ending with an elaborate root system.
· Trees are attached to a handmade “rock” of clay, custom colored polymer clay or both.
· Colors used in & on the “rock” accent the tree & include metallic acrylic paint & 1-2 coats of gloss varnish applied for protection.
· The tree & “rock” are placed in a ceramic pot & surrounded by crushed rocks or stones.
· Each tree is truly one of a kind!

Miniature & Nano Bonsai Trees are under 6" tall and hand-twisted using 20-gauge colored aluminum wire.
· Each miniature & nano tree is made with 25 to 75 feet of wire!
· Some of the trees will have glass, crystal or metallic beads added to their blossoms.
· Trees are attached to a handmade “rock” of clay or custom colored polymer clay.
· Colors used in & on the “rock” accent the tree & may include metallic acrylic paint. 1-2 coats of varnish are then applied for protection.

"Fossilized" Dragonfly Ornaments
Hand-twisted dragonflies with beaded eyes are "fossilized" into an imperfect hand-rolled clay disc that has either scented coffee or tea added to it for texture and aroma. It is then dried, sanded & sealed, ready to be hung on your favorite porch, rear-view mirror or anywhere you'd like to bring the essence of a dragonfly with you!
These are available on-line in the Fall and Winter but can be commissioned any time of the year

Dimensions
Trees will vary in size, depending on the style. The height for a partial cascade will be shorter than the trees with less bend, etc. Each small/medium to large tree takes anywhere between 250 and 420 feet of aluminum wire, again depending on the style. The height for this amount of wire will be 8" to 12" with a width between 8" and 12". Do you have any required dimensions to fit perfectly on your favorite table or bookcase?
Packing & Shipping
These trees are very flexible yet fragile so must be packaged and shipped with great care. Each tree will have it's own individual box custom made in which each sculpture will be secured. That box will then be placed inside a shipping box. By removing the shipping material and tape it should be ready to put on display without any adjustments to the wire. If there are any issues when it arrives contact us ASAP! Please refer to "Unpacking Your Tree" for tips on safely removing it from the packaging.
* Shipping typically takes 5-10 days, and on the longer side during the holiday season. Expedited shipping is available at an additional cost.
