Rock and Wire Wish Upon a Star

Here's another tree.  I tore this one apart 2 times because

I was not happy with it.  It's a bonsai style, but I did not like the leaves.   I finally took them off and

added the silver star.  The rock is a bit oversized for this

tree, but I didn't decide that til all of the wrapping and

shaping was done, so they are now a pair!

 

Rock and Wire Tree with Pearlized Enamel

 

This is another rock and wire tree.  They are soooo hard 

to take a picture of!!  

I used the soft Benecreat aluminum wire to make little 

curly cues that look a bit like hearts.  I added some 

Pearlized Enamel Effects Basic (from Stampin' Up!)

to the curly cues.  This product does a great job

adhering to the wire and not dripping.  It also saves

time because you can do multiple curls without worrying

about dealing with beads.

I wound the roots around the rock and put some hot

glue on the underside of the rock to hold things in place.

I love this rock because in person, it matches 

the copper wire beautifully.
