Wire Trees

[debodun]

Is there a specific name for this type of knick-knack? The "trees" are composed of wires that are bendable making the trees posable. One has multi-colored colored leaves and the other has tiny bells.

Just love these!

"Wire trees" they are.

Check out this wire tree made to look like it's blowing in the wind!

They are called "wire trees". Go to eBay with that name and see all the different types

My mother had one from the 20s. The wires were wrapped in silk thread with leaves and blossoms made of jade. We called it the jade tree. I don’t know where it came from or any special name for it.

Not at all, Deb, it boils down to style.

Imagine if everything looked, and was made the same, what a boring world this would be.

And because I have always had an affinity for all things Bonsai...

Boy-oh-boy, Deb, now you've got me thinking of all things wire trees!

Look at this outstanding wire tree (with lights)!

Just look at the detail, I cannot imagine the hours spent making something of this magnitude, need alone the patience.
