She wrote that she chose the rectangular beads because they had the look of wood grain. She calls the piece "Ent-Wise". I love that.<br />I wish I could post a link to a blog or website but she doesn't have either. Her work is sold through art galleries and shows. I will certainly post more pictures as I receive them.
