Tried my first attempt at a wire tree just before the weekend. I was worried I wasn’t able to do it. If you think of the whole picture it’s difficult to grasp.
A Tree… And all its parts. How do you put that into a 3d Wire model.
Understanding the mechanics will teach you a few things. If not artistically the physically.
Tree 1 – the pot I made it to fit into. I remembered it got broken.i may try to find another or I’ll alter the roots at some point. Made with 1mm standard anodised Bonsai wire. Brittle if you wiggle it too much. 42 strands cut to about 50cm long.
Tools: wire cutters, 12cm round nose pliers
Tree 2 – 0.75mm Copper Wire
Similar shaped tree, but made with copper wire.
Very impressive Bryan! A great idea during slow season of winter 🙂
Yep… I’ve got a good real there of the copper wire. I intend to do a few more!!!
Seen as that one is on my wifes desk, i think i need one, plus mylittle girl has asked for one 🙂
Need to pick up some Mame pots now hahaha
Brilliant bryan.. Really looks the part. 👍👍
Thanks… I’ll be doing a few more. Its wuite nice whilst watching rubbish tele to be doing something 🙂
Pretty cool! Would actually be a great way to explain taper, nebari and ramification etc…
Each branch has 2 less wire until you get to the top branch
Yes Taper is explained well in this method of creating a tree. Also dinamics and movement of a tree
