That's amazing! What is the gauge for the thickest wire you have on those?

Oy, memory test!
Let's see, the center is 18ga aluminum frame and the twist it hangs from is 18ga too. The frames and twisties on the side pieces are 20ga. And I'm pretty sure all the branch/trunk wire is 28 ga. (I'm using less 26, it's getting too rough on my joints and hands!)

Plenty of people do trees, we each have our own take. A lot of people use beads or bigger chips, I use small chips or pearls because they let me do more branches/spread for a canopy and look more natural to me. Maybe that's it?

Thanks, the light is a little wonky, it's more of a lavender in real life.

I couldn't even decide. Tornados are pretty damn scary too! They just seem so personal. Like the storms around here aren't fun when they hit, but except for scary driving to work you can mostly hunker down with candles and be cold but safe(ish). Fire comes to you and is harder to escape and tornados actively attack. It's like nature has it out for you!

I like thunderstorms but for the driving. I was thinking the ice and snow storms!

X-) I keep forgetting how temperate we have it here compared to over there. I was a child the last time I even saw snow!

I totally understand, that's part of the reason I make things to get donations, I don't have the spare cash to give straight up.

If it makes you feel better- my art teacher in college told me to get used to failure.
That's part of the reason I dropped my art minor.
