    Perfect! I was given a huge bag of green stone beads. I had no idea what I would do with them. Now I do! Thank you for the inspiration.🌳

    I’ve done pendants and sun catchers but really appreciate your tutorial on the 3D version.
    I’m so glad to see how much your channel has grown since I’ve been watching! I think you had around 4K subscribers back then and just look at you now! 🎉

    I like your method from top down to root, others do it from the roots up and it seems to take them longer. Yours is more efficient. I think there is room for efficiency in art. 😊

    Hi Yvonne, as you were making this I was thinking it would be really cool to make the top of the tree your family by writing really tiny on each bead the. Name of a family member. And so on or start with a grandparent one your side of the family and then on the other side of the tree your husbands side of the family starting with great great or great grandparents. That would be something special to keep. Beautiful tree can’t wait to see what is next.

    Thank you so very much for this video. I have now made 3 trees and am getting better each time. I just have ine major problem though. How do you mount them. I have 1 attached to a shell, another to a rock and the third I want to put on an amethyst cluster. I don't have any glued down. What glue would you recommend? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. I have been searching and can't find anyone willing to help me. I am to afraid to experiment with just any glue.

  • @Brandywine6969
    @Brandywine6969 Před 6 lety +1

    I am like that about the wildlife in my yard too. I want to protect the ones I call "my" regulars at the bird feeder. I call them mine too and feel the same way. There is a catbird that nests in the clump of bushes next to the driver's side door of my car every spring. He (or she? I don't know) no longer fusses at me when I have to go anywhere. If anyone else gets near that group of bushes, he fusses at them.

    Von. If you get a chance look up a guy on CZcams his name Kevin Iris. He has devoted his time for many years to making his trees. The time and work are just fantastic. I have watched these videos and wondered if he will become one of those forgotten starving artist. He is a great "maker".

      Miss Rzhrt That sounds beautiful. I'm having a bit of a hard time with the choice of m.o.p. chips because it looks like an old teeth tree. 😸 I think rose quartz would be cool for a cherry blossom tree. Oh, the possibilities.

  • @laurenallen4057
    @laurenallen4057 Před 5 lety

    I know that this may be the most random comment....I have a number of vintage wire trees, the largest being a foot or more tall. I am not sure how to store them while I don't have them set out for decoration. Does anyone have any ideas of the best, safe way to store them? Right now the are in my closet but that still allows for dust and what not. Thanks :)

    • @hollymarkle2861
      @hollymarkle2861 Před 4 lety +1

    Wow, i wish the proper measurements were laid out first. Length of strand and how much wire. Rough measurements would have been fine. Plus no instructions about root options. I was left with no wire for roots, plus I wasnt sure how to make the roots as i went along...
