Description
Coated copper in brown, natural and bronze. Quartz and moonstone. Just under 2" long by 1 3/8" wide.For the twisty trees contest. I was playing with using multiple tones of wire to reinforce all the twisting that's involved in making the tree. I'm a bit ambivalent about it. I like the effect in the trunk, but I'm not sure on the branches all being different colors.
What do you guys think?
This one is available for a $30 donation (if outside the US note me first, might need to be a little more to balance out the shipping!) to one of these environmental charities:
Conservation International: [link]
Sierra Club: [link]
Union of Concerned Scientists: [link]

Rose quartz chips are very abundant on the internet, and you can always find synthetic chips in stores like Michael's and Johann's. My next tree is going to have a mixture of assorted natural chips, including rose quartz.

I'm a picky pain. I've had poor luck buying stones online, so I do it very rarely

I think it's looks great, a little more realistic even. Most bark isn't precisely the same color everywhere, after all.

Thank you, I liked the effect on the trunk, but not so much on the branches. But can't figure a way around it thus far. I'm going to keep playing.

I like it! The colors go well together, and from a distance the subtle difference looks brilliant! The mix of stones is good too; there's a lot you could do with that technique
-Waits for some psychedelic trees for Halloween-

Cool.
And I hadn't thought in that direction honestly.

I think it works! The colors aren't so crazy that they clash, and they mimic natural tree colors.
