Hi Mele,
Very, very, very nice tree. Did you think about probably putting some rust looking leaves on as in autum, or you`ll leave it like that? Sure looks good anyway. Congratulations. Nelson.

Thanks, they would have to be really tiny leaves. I'm not sure I would know how to do it.

Hi Mele,
This is a beautiful piece...I , too love the roots. I could see a larger version with the roots extending in a large diameter over the floor ( idea for an installation piece)....maybe with something trapped within the roots...
sorry it just inspired some visions....wow...really love it!!!
Show it off on Facebook!!!!! Steelyjan

Great limbs

Mele, really great tree. I really like the limbs and how they taper out, especially from the main trunk. Little branches have a nice movement and feel, looks almost real.

Thanks everybody for the

mele miller - Monday, March 2, 2009 - 5:30am

Thanks everybody for the complements. It was fun to play with. It is about 2 feet tall. I really didn't put a finish on it, I played alittle with heating and brushing it with a brass brush. I read someone elses' post about that and wanted to see how it worked, so it has a very slight brassy tint.

Hi Mele, what a wonderful tree! The lines are great and so realistic, too nice to put outside where it could rust. I'd love to see a little cat up in it. Lin

Absolutely Beautiful!

mlhostetter - Sunday, January 3, 2010 - 5:57pm

I am actually brand new to this forum (my 1st post) and I am trying to learn what needs to be done to create something so beautiful. I have seen these types of trees done as table centerpieces in high end weddings with tea candles and crystals hanging from them. My husband and I are renewing our wedding vows on our 25th Anniversary in 2011 and I want to learn to make these for our wedding.

You are very talented and I look forward to browsing this forum/site for more from all those here. Thanks for all your inspiration!
