The main feature of this tree sculpture are the 258 jade leaves of various shapes and sizes. Each leaf is individually wired onto its branch using a unique method developed by Sal Villano expressly for this type of  sculpture.The tree is created using 18, 24 and 26 gauge gold color wire.

Created by using 22, 24 & 26 gauge gold color wire. The end of each wire is hammered flat producing a delicate flat gold leaf. The bending and twisting roots cling to a mound of rocks and pebbles and all is bonded in sea sand.  The sea sand mixture is painted in several coats of yellow, green and white India ink.
