Massive Merry Christmas bead and wire tree sculpture
It's been suggested to me many times and it's taken until 2025 for me to do it. A big statement piece of art for Christmas lovers everywhere made entirely of beads and wire and mounted to a gorgeous agate slice base.
This Christmas tree has I don't know how many branches but it's a lot. I'd estimate around 300 but it could be more. Or less, I wasn't counting. Each one is made from multiple spiky pine 'leaves' made from green two cut seed beads, giving it that iconic pine needle effect. A first for Twysted Roots, this tree branches off into 5 spiralled root sections instead of the usual 4, a finish that I'll be adopting moving forward for larger trees because it looks awesome!
It has been decorated with an array of glass bead baubles in mostly red, white, silver and gold as well as having strands of beaded draped round it for a tinsel effect. As always, it is topped with a high end luxury ab crystal star, affixed with the use of some silver plated copper wire. The rest of the tree has been twysted together with antique copper coloured copper wire.
Tree sits at 24cms / 9.5 inches in height (including base)
