Evergreen Bonsai
While attending a class at a beadmakers’ conference, Joy was introduced to steel wire. Although not applicable to her orbs, the workability of steel was fun. After visiting a local bonsai conference, and ogling the lovely tiny trees, the idea of using the steel wire to wrap tree trunks starting working in her brain. After much trial and lots of errors, she attended a class in construction wire cages for class with Sara Sally LaGrand. It worked. This second bonsai also took several weeks of leaf making and a month in construction to complete.
