Jade Cascade #1 - Wire Tree Sculpture

Jade Cascade #1 - Wire Tree Sculpture

Jade Cascade #1 -
Wire Tree Sculpture,
by Sal Villano
17"wide x 11"deep x 18"high. Wire tree sculpture with 218 genuine Jade leaves of various shapes and sizes. Some of the jade leaves are flat and others have a slight upward turn at the tip. Each leaf is individually wired onto its branch using a unique method developed by Sal Villano expressly for this type of sculpture. There are no holes in any of the leaves so they appear very natural in their position on the end of each twig. The tree is created using 18, 24 and 26 gauge gold color wire. The roots of the tree are bound into a sand and pebble mound that is painted in greens and yellows using India ink to create the image of moss. The sculpture is in a 7" round metallic ceramic bowl and is permanently fixed to the dark wood 5 legged elevation base. This sculpture can be displayed in direct sunlight since all the coloring and material used are light fast, and will not fade.

Beaded Wire Tree Sculpture by Sal Villano
Unique creations by sculptor Sal Villano. A wide variety of wire trees including Bonsai, Beaded, Wind Swept, Bird Nests and much more. Plus an instruction book showing "How to Create Wire Tree Sculpture"

The inspiration for creating my sculpture grew from a lifetime love of trees. I am in awe of the stately presence and silent majesty they posses. I find the structure of trees to be one of the perfections in nature. With their roots embracing the earth; in winter they show their bones, in spring gentle buds, in summer a canopy of green and in fall a magical kaleidoscope of colors. Beauty, pure beauty.
