Description

Silver paddle wire, glass tear drop beads, rock

I wanted to try my hand at creating another wire and bead tree. For this one, I abandoned my seed beads and chose some larger glass tear drop beads that have a nice iris color treatment to them, which is why you see so much blue in the photo. In real life the color is much more subtle. I buy all my rocks for these trees at a local aquarium store, and the people there said that this rock is called "Utah Ice" or something. I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find any reference to a rock with this name, so I don't really know what it is. The tree is about 7 inches tall from the bottom of the rock to the highest point. I think it looks really pretty. I spent about 6-7 hours on it.

This tree is being donated to Cozy Cat Cottage in Powell, OH ([link] ). My boyfriend and I just started volunteering there. They're having a silent auction in the near future to raise money for the shelter, and I hope that this will help a little.

I have a quick question, how do you attach the trees to their mountings?
