Treetop fun
Today we will make the top of a wire tree. This is a great project for anyone with time and spare wire on their hands.
Skill level: Beginner to Intermediate
Safety:
-Protective Eyewear
-Leather gloves
Tools:
-Flush cut snips
-Flat needle nose pliers
1/8th inch mandrel (I use a the back end of broken drill bit and hold it I a pin vice, but a steel nail or something else will work too.)
Supplies:
22 gauge wire, I am using brass in this video, but I would recommend aluminum for the beginners as it is softer and much easier on the hands. Copper is great too, with a hardness somewhere between aluminum and brass.
I cut the wire into 35 pieces, you can use more, but using less will leave you a pretty bare looking tree.
Before the filming of this video I have roughly twisted the wires together in the middle and begun separating branches.
The completing of this sculpture will have to be another video, as it is also a fairly time consuming process.
Please let me know what you think of this video in the comments, and if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them as soon as I can!
Feel free to share this with your friends who are looking to learn wire sculpture skills too!
Thanks for supporting my arts!
