The branches and twigs contain hundreds of clear tiny solid glass fringe beads. Each glass bead is interwoven into the wire giving the structure of the tree a very exotic look. The tree is "planted" in a 7" round solid aluminum base. All is bound together using a sand and pebble mixture.

Kristallnacht, Tree of Life by Sal Villano

Sat, 07 Nov 2015 11:04:36 MST

Kristallnacht, Tree of Life Kristallnacht, or The Night of Broken Glass, was a series of government-sanctioned attacks against the Jewish population of Germany and Austria on November 9-10, 1938. Ninety-six Jews were murdered and 25,000-30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The damage to property was also very extensive: thousands of synagogues were attacked, with 267 burned to the ground. Thousands of Jewish homes and Jewish owned businesses were burned and destroyed using sledgehammers and axes, leaving most of streets covered with shards of broken glass shimmering in the moonlight -- hence the origin of the name Kristallnacht. Many historians consider this horrible event to be the beginning of the "Final Solution"

Printed Book-CREATING WIRE TREES by Sal Villano

Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:30:32 MST

The book is offered as a PRINTED or DOWNLOAD eBOOK - It's 138 pages and is the result of more than three years of work. My inspiration for writing my third book on the subject of creating wire trees and other art pieces using wire, came to me while showing my work at many art and craft shows, and in art galleries. Interested people would ask me how I got started, and, some people, who were really interested in my work, said I should write a book showing how I create my tree sculpture. I have taken great care in creating this third book, not only adding many more different types of sculpture, but also adding many extras I think the reader will find very helpful. I not only explain and illustrate for you, how to create each piece, I also show or explain how to use a basic item to create many more variations of each item. 138 pages, 8.5 X 11 inches with over 400 photos and illustrations. This book includes all the tree sculpture from my third edition book HOW TO CREATE BEADED AND WIRE TREE SCULPTURE and most of the pieces shown on my website. Plus, based on my over 30 years of creating and showing my work, I have added many pages I have called EXTRAS. These extras will help you with many different topics, such as: Photography, Pricing and Shipping your work, Accepting commissions, Art and craft shows, Consigning your work, and many more.
