    Large Oval Koi Pot Pond

    30/07/2020 /

    I went through a creative period where I really enjoyed making pot ponds. These are miniature dioramas of a pond, complete with: substrate, terrain, wildlife and vegetation. My vision was to make a realistic, scaled version of a pond. My wife has small pot pond that she keeps by the front door and cherishes. The pond featured in this post was created for a valued customer who has become a friend. He commissioned this piece with an initial focus on the pot. He wanted an impressive pot; which I sourced especially for this sculpture. The scene was then inspired by the pot. Focal pieces of this pot pond are a…

    Crystal Bead Collection

    30/07/2020 /

    I have compiled a selection of my crystal bead wire tree sculptures into a video. When I was going over my past wire tree sculptures I was surprised with just how many if these crystal trees I have crafted. Attaching the beads to the wire is a very time intensive task and hundreds of hours of work have gone into these trees. The majority of these pieces have found their forever homes with collectors, or been purchased as gifts for loved ones. A few are still available. If one catches your eye contact me to see if it is still available. If it isn’t I am also open for commissions,…

    Why the type of wire matters

    19/09/2017 /

    In this post I am going to be explaining about choosing the correct craft wire for the job. Making a wire tree with any old wire can influence the production time and final result, changing the overall feel of the tree. I decided to do an experiment and make 2 trees, of very similar design but use 2 different thicknesses of wire. The first tree I made used 0.6mm wire and the second used 0.3mm wire. Now naturally I needed twice as much of the thinner wire to make the trunk roughly the same thickness but what I didn’t expect was the difference in time. The thicker wire tree took…

    Wedding Anniversary Gifts

    I able to offer beautiful wedding cake toppers and also commission pieces designed as anniversary gifts. The following years of marriage are traditionally associated with specific precious gems so why not get a tree commissioned to that stone colour? With so many different stones available from Gold, Silver and Emerald to Ruby, I can make a tree to suit most budgets and match the colour of anniversary. We would work together to decide exactly what the tree would look like and ensure a prompt service and delivery in time for the special occasion. If you want to commission a tree for a special couple, please contact me.

    What type of wire and why

    14/07/2017 /

    So today I thought it would be worth discussing the types of wire I use to make my tree sculptures and why I use what I use. Before getting into the details it is worth noting that this is how I make my trees and there are many talented artists out there who use different thicknesses, material and have their own techniques. The main types of wire that used to make wire trees are as follows: Aluminium Copper Steel Aluminium Aluminium wire is typically used in welding and is a great source of wire as it is reasonably priced; however, these spools are also quite dirty and require cleaning before…
