Tree of life made with your horses tail hair.
Please note this item 'cannot' be made with mane hair
I will require hair that is a minimum of 8" -20 cm long and the thickness of 3 pencils. Unused hair will be returned
The tree's trunk and branches are made using your horses hair entwined with wire, I will then add beads to the branches, the beads are made from semi-precious stones and shell in various sizes. I use around 200 beads per tree.
I will use a wire closest to you horse hair colour. Black for black hair ; Silver for white/grey hair ; Copper for Chestnut hair
I will then complete the outer ring with the same colour as the wire.
* If you require anything different please let me know
You can choose any of the coloured beads for your tree, you can have just one colour or a mix of colours. I can place them irregular or in bands of colour. Please see photo examples. If you prefer another way please let me know.
'Entwined' The hair from more than one horse can be used, in this case each horse can have its own 'branch' with its own colours or I can use any colours and in any style that you prefer.
The tree measures 12cm in diameter and the frame measures 8" x 9" and is fitted with plexiglass to avoid breakage in transit.
A name plaque completes the frame with an engraving of your choice.
