Subdued

A 5 mm thick aluminum wire is placed on a wooden base. A 2 mm aluminum wire is placed on this and roughly kneaded into a Christmas tree model using the crush technique. Cut pieces of the Calocephalus plant, or silver bush, are wrapped around this with silver wire. The plants dry very well, making this tree very durable! Two beautiful Kalanchoe leaves complete the picture - here, the art of omission applies.
