Mystical Island, Beaded wire tree sculpture

18«H X 14«w X 13«d. Created in 24 & 26 bright coated copper wire. Hundreds of clear glass fringe beads are woven into the branches and twigs. When displayed in bright light or direct sun, the clear beads reflect and refract the light producing a magical kaleidoscope of color. The roots of this tree sculpture are interwoven and bonded with sea sand and pebbles then mounted on an island of dark gray slate. The slate is bonded to a 1/4» piece of beveled edge plate glass sea sand mixture is painted in several coats of yellow, green and white India ink. The color and texture of the surface of the mound gives the feel and appearance of moss covered earth. All the colors used are «light fast» and will not fade.
