usually mounted on a base of mirror, and decorated with many small double-sided

This is a smaller version of the grapevine mirror sculpture above—the base is 6 inches square. The "tree" is a cutting from the bush called Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, and is decorated with 1/8 inch double-sided mirrors in both white and peach. |
This is a hanging grapevine mirror "sculpture," with many double-sided mirrors hanging from the vine. It is about 12 inches across. |

This is a close-up of the center of the "tree." All of the mirror strands, each consisting of many pieces of double 1/4 inch mirror pieces hanging on a filament, are tied onto the "tree" and fastened with glue. The "tree" itself has been painted with metallic gold. The mirrors shimmer gently with every bit of air movement. |
