Have been experimenting with these for a while. Did not share any because they are no where near as nice as drocknut ones.

Finally think I have one good enough to post.

Let me have it, the good, the bad and the ugly. 18 ga. Silver wire. 24 ga. Copper wire. Peridot stones.

Thank you.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

I would patina it and straighten the bail up- maybe next time keep the roots together. But, really it is perfectly ok as is.

I have some that have more uniform, straight roots. Tried curved roots for this one. Had to use flash for photo. The silver/copper are not as bright as they appear.

I hadn't seen this post until just now so sorry for the late comments. I am definitely not an expert at the Tree of Life but yours looks great. Each wrapper has a style or develops a style as they wrap. One suggestion is you might try wrapping the roots together a bit farther down to make more of a "trunk" for the tree. Keep up the great wrapping.

Thanks. I have made about 6 more. Most of them have more of a trunk.
