Birch · Moon

Moon is the birch under night light, pale bark gone luminous, the canopy hushed to a soft silver. It is a quiet, slightly otherworldly take on a clean northern tree.

It is woven by hand from Czech glass seed beads on hand-twisted copper wire, the foliage kept fine and open so the slim branching stays graceful and light. The trunk is notably slender, carrying the upright character a birch always has, and it is set into a pale river stone for balance. A couple of days of bench time stand behind it, and the finished piece stands roughly 23 to 27 cm. Made to order, so the tree you receive is one of one.

This handmade beaded bonsai tree suits a bright shelf, a desk, or a calm minimalist room that wants one quiet, living-feeling detail. It never sheds and holds its color indefinitely. A serene handmade gift for a housewarming, a new beginning, or someone drawn to still, moonlit things.

Keep your piece out of direct sunlight and away from steam or damp. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush — never water or cloth. Branches can be reshaped lightly by hand. Cared for simply, a beaded tree lasts for decades.
