Description
Selling for $55Here is the link to it on my etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/174237797…
I have determined that this twisted bonsai-look shall be one of my new styles! Still working at perfecting it, though. In fact, this one didn't turn out as planned. Originally, I only had the white shell for the moon, but then it looked too plain on the other side. Hmm, so I decided to add another one!
A moon, and a sun. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while anyway, so it worked out in the end lol. I've been wanting to do a theme that incorporates either "my sun and stars" or "moon of my life" from Game of Thrones, so even though this isn't *exactly* right, it could still go with that theme =]I hope everyone likes it ^.^
The Tree of Life symbolizes spiritual growth and wisdom, strength, protection, and connectedness. It is a healthy model that inspires the spirit and encourages hope in all hearts.
These are delicate, wire wrapped pendants that should be handled with care. Some of the stones, glass, or shells used to create the tree can break if handled roughly.

Several different wire-wrapping techniques went into it. I don't offer any tutorials of my work right now, but there are lots of different Tree of Life tutorials online if you're interested in making one ^.^ If you have any questions or need help though, don't hesitate to ask!

ok thanks
there is one question and that is:
were did you get your wire from?
oh and what size wire would i need?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I get my wire from all different stores, but Michaels Arts and Crafts has great wire for both beginner and expert wire-wrappers ^.^ Any craft store should have wire available for you. You can also find some really nice wire on Etsy.
The size (gauge) of wire depends on the size of tree you'd want to make. I usually use 16 gauge for the base and 24 gauge for the tree. On smaller pendants, I switch the gauges to 18 gauge and 26 gauge. Make sure you get some wire cutters and some round nose and needle nose pliers for twisting and bending =]

Oh that's pretty *-*
I love the color choices and design!
I was thinking of doing some curve like that but more of a swirl..idk if it makes sense but I have a feeling it'll be hard to do

Thank you very much!
I was drawing something out today of something with a swirl too... sort of like one of those "wind" swirls. I want to do the different elements, so I'm trying to come up with different ideas for fire, wind, water, earth, and storm xD

Wind swirls?
I think I know what you're talking about? But if it's what I think you mean that's not what I meant
I mean like the actual trunk of the tree being swirled instead of having those swirl designs on it. Idk if it make sense

Yeah I mean the trunk too, but I don't think we're thinking of the same thing? O.o Idk, I guess we'll find out when we both make one xD
