Windswept Fukinagshi with Tiffany Gemstone Sculpture

Windswept Fukinagshi with Tiffany Gemstone A large Tiffany Stone is set into a custom bezel in Heavy gauge brass which serves as the planter of an Copper Bonsai Tree; Fukingashi style. This Class if Bonsai presents a windswept tree. The foliage and the trunk seem to reach in one direction, like those found high on a mountain or on the shore. This effect is achieved by keeping its base continually kept at a sharp angle for the majority of its life. Its planter is only placed flat when on formal display. When working with specialty gemstone a plan has to be completely drafted beforehand. It starts when I design a trunk specifically for the the stone and then appropriately placed foliage was developed to enhance the design. It was then transferred onto 18 gauge metals and cut with a jewelers saw. All parts are welded together with fine silver with a wire bracket on the back. A green finish is achieved with a brush application of copper solution. The trunk was etched by hand with textural scratches to provide a flashy reflective surface to the trunk and branches. My signature, title and year is etched into the back and sealed with lacquer to stabilize the finish and prevent further tarnishing.
