The tree stands about 14 inches tall and equally wide. It has 108 strands of true copper wire, twisting together into branches with leaf curls on each of the 108 ends. I was aware for the design and preparation, and in flow state for the actual twisting of the tree into life. It absolutely glows from the inside.
