Beautiful work!

Just amazing.

You are a magician, Pavel.

Holy crap!------What an eye. I do have a question. How long do you contemplate a tree like this before you actually start applying wire and cutting branches? Is this something you kind of do without giving it much of a thought or is it the product of many hours of studying the tree and examining the possibilities? I am seriously interested in understanding the mind of an artist.

Hi Pavel,
How many times to you have to rewire the tree for for the design to become "permanent?"
I realize it will depend upon the extremes of the bending, branch thickness, etc. But do you have a time frame when you remove wire and wire again? How long has it taken for your "extreme" trees to hold their shape?

Thanks!

Outstanding! I always love the sensitivity behind your designs, Pavel. It's subtel, yet strong.

Best,
Dorothy
