The finished weeping blossom tree in all its glory.

It arrived safely in the US to its new home this week and both myself and the recipient couldn't be happier!

Close up of some spiralled wire roots and the base of a trunk of a wire tree with tufts of modelling grass growing through the roots. A hint of pink hanging blossom is out of focus in the background

A close up of a pink beaded blossom wire tree sculpture showing the trunk and some branches, surrounded by masses of pink beaded blossom wire branches hanging down. Modelling grass surrounds the roots of the tree which all sits on a polished grey agate slice base.

Thank you so much! Have to admit I felt a pang when it came to packing this one up.

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · 22d

This has been the first year in a long time I've not been bitten by one. The females are the absolute gits that bite and oh boy I swell up and blister like you wouldn't believe. Terrifying is right - nothing else gives me the fear like these flying vampires!

Wolf's eastern phoebe is nearly done!! The tail is mainly what's left to finish, which is a signature feature of the bird

Posing a sculpture of an eastern phoebe bird on top of a hand; beads of many shapes and shades of brown make up the back and head, while many beige to white beads make up the belly.

Same sculpture shown from a different angle.

Thank you!

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · Sep 2

So many beads! 😅

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · Sep 2

It's still needing to be mounted to a base but the tree is finished and standing. It's a September miracle!

A pink blossom bead and wire tree sculpture sitting on my tv unit in front of my tv. It's a large and very full of detail tree with hundreds of branches in clouds of pink beads.

Fingers crossed! I'm guessing every hosting platform will be trying to get something in place to accomodate. Absolute nightmare innit!

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · Aug 23

Hope its not as complicated as I made it on mine! Meant to go write the steps down today so it might help anyone else but got distracted with gardening. 😅

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · Aug 23

Ahhh good luck! Hope it's easier for you 😂

I'll second that! Dean is so thoughtful and knowledgeable in both production and sustainability. And the scents are gorgeous - even my sensitive sinuses agree!

Latest tree in progress that nobody is getting to see, including me! Wire wrapping was frustratingly difficult with so many branches getting snagged in the long lengths of wire so had the idea of bagging them as I go.

It's still fiddly but not 'I'm going to launch this into the sun' difficult!

The latest progress of the pink blossom tree with all but one of the filled branches wrapped in bags and tape. Holding it up with one arm with my garden in the background.

Yep, yep and yep. Not sure what the reasoning was behind it but the latest update has made it feel like I'm learning on an entirely new phone and I don't like it. 😕

Clair @twystedroots.bsky.social · Jul 3

Gahhhh I hear that! Had an update on my samsung the other day and it's now getting sworn at every time I'm trying to access or look at something. 😖
