Here is a picture of my husband's favorite bonsai that I have created. I really enjoyed finding just the right beads to make this all match. My mom found the base in a thrift store in Washington state.

Beaded Bonsai Tree
One of my first beaded bonsai trees. I used wire and stones twisted in black wire. For the base I used a find from a thrift store and loaded it up with river rock for a fish tank.
Trees
I really like trees. My oldest son, Josh, was fasinated by them when he was a baby. I used to sit him in his chair by the sliding glass door for the best view of the trees blowing in the wind. He would point and grunt. I would listen to his excitement when I bird or plane flew in his line of sight. I remember this like yesterday, but shockingly it was 20 years ago. He could see anything and notice every detail. I oftened wondered if he would use that talent to study birds, or be an aircraft controller. He has the ability to create and build anything with or without instructions. So each time I see a tree I think of Josh.
