Exposed Roots - Wire Tree Sculpture
19" X 14" X 14" Made of 26 and 28 gauge galvanized steel wire. Weeping Willow style tree, bonded in sea sand onto a base of 1/2" thick, 7.5" round, clear glass. The sand is painted with India ink to look like moss covered earth.

Hi All, I finally finished and installed the brass panels. I'm slightly disappointed with the back, which no one will ever see, but other than that I think they turned out pretty good. This was my fist experience with Brass and by far the most difficult challenge I've tackled yet. The brass "Crown" above was already there and was what governed the finish.

Yellow Oak - Wire Tree Sculpture.
18"wide x 17"high x 17" deep. Tree is made of 18 & 26 gauge silver colored steel wire. The end of each twig is hammered flat and painted a bright yellow, using enamel, to form hundreds of leaves. The tree is secured into a round maroon colored glazed container in a sand and pebble mound directly in the center of several large textured stones. The sand is painted using India ink to look like moss. The overall sculpture has the feel of a mighty oak tree in all its colorful glory. When displayed in direct sunlight or very bright lights, the sculpture seems to glow a bright yellow.

Hi all, I got the last of my parts in for the brass panels and am putting the final polish on certain areas that needed it. I noticed that the areas I had polished a few weeks ago were a slightly darker and richer color than the freshly polished area. I don't mind the richer color, I was just wondering if I should let the piece sit for a week or two, so the touched up areas will be the same color/shade as the non-touched up areas? I'd rather not have to go over the whole thing again.
