I am not sure it really matters the size of the wheel. I had 2 sizes also and used both the small and larger one with same result. Whatever feels more comfortable to you is the one I would go for. Thank you for watching.

I use 22 gauge wire usually. You can use any you like. It is something everyone finds their comfort gauge. Play around with 20 to 24 gauge and see what works best for you.

@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 thank u I'm gonna give it ago ill post when I done one

Thank you!

Thank you for watching. I only have a few videos but I plan to start making more come next year. Had to put wire art aside due to financial struggle. starving artist syndrom lol. Kidding. Thanks for watching.

@marinasoto5015 it was a relaxing hike. Nothing strenuous. I enjoyed my time on trail. It was fairly warm when I was there. Can't recall when but probably January. Ice and snow were melting by the time I got there. Angels Landing still had ice but all in all it is a beautiful experience.

I did not know that. Awesome area to explore though. Wish my van made it all the way up the road. Missed some spots while I was there.

Thank you for both compliments 😀 and thank you for watching.

@sarahcaitlyn88 without looking back over the video, I think I know what you refer to. I do make mistakes and may have skipped one. I do recall suspecting i did.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 oh okay!! I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to do that! 🤭 Clearly it didn't make a difference though because they still turned out perfect! Thanks for letting me know.

@@sarahcaitlyn88 thank you for watching

Had something for sure. Thanks for watchin.

I did rings and bracelets for a while. Sold one of the several bracelets I made and then went into tree art again. It's a good craft. Thanks for your reply and thank you for watching. I will be doing more tutorials again come winter. These videos are old lol. BB

@selfsufficientmama I am not in the area and vaguely recall exactly where it is. All I know is if you are traveling up to Goblin Valley State Park, the road up, it is not too far off on the right hand side up in the rocky areas. Best bet to find it is to view the horizon from the road and look for a shadowed area and there is a trail from the road but is easy to miss.

@@a0jvshugbj6777 thank you

That one has a hidden gem added to it.

Coulda been. Could been anything. I will say, what I didnt state in the video....at the end I said the night was uneventful. I lied. I was falling asleep or just fallen asleep when I felt a weight push down on the back of my van. Whatwver did it, when it released, my can bounced like it was a lot of weight. I couldnt imagine it being smaller than a pretty descent size black bear. There were not tracks in the mud outside my van next morning. So I never had a clue what it was. Maybe bigfoot.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 definitely bigfoot.

Thank you for the info. I admit I know very little of the place. Wandered around there a lot in the past. Peaceful area in daylight. Can be a trip at night.

All wire I use is 22 gauge. But use whatever is most comfortable for you. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. I had to take a long break from wire craft due to injury from the craft. Life grabbed me up but I am trying to get back into it. I will try to do more videos when I can. Glad this video was some help. Thanks for watching.

I think I used 22 gauge wire. Zebra Stripe is the company or manufacturer.

Thank you

Always a venture. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. Tree wire art, there really is no right or wrong way to do it. It is trial and error as you develop the skills. When it comes to branch work, I just do what feels right. I use more in bundles on the bottom branches and less towards the top. My best advice is to just play with it. Make several. Get a feel for what works best for you. You will find your look.

It varies with each project. Something like this, probably at least 8 to 12 strands of 22 gauge wire per small branch. It has been a while since I did this one so can not be sure.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 thanks. Every bit helps when you’re starting. I still can’t seem to get your loops done with one twist, but I’m sure it will click in one day, at least I figured out how to do the loops that you can roll down. Takes time, but like you, it’s a stress reliever for me. I’ve tried a couple others you posted and they came out great(for a beginner) just love your attitude and nothing is, or needs to be perfect. I hope you keep posting different styles. Keep up the great work. I’m sure you’ll end up doing very well selling your artworks.

I had to put down wire art for time being. Developed quite the tennis elbow for 9 months. I will pick it back up by spring and see what happens. Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching.

Thank you

It will be amazing. Thank you for watching.

Definantly a relaxing hike and beautiful for sure. I enjoyed myself. Thank you for watching.

kzbin.info/aero/PLHGJAe3oTMeQWUrngggP8W2Jvy2DtGVxw Not sure if the link works in comments, but this is all my wire art videos. Attaching to the base was content I lost and never completed for video tutorial. But both these videos show the full trunk process. Thank you for watching.

Well....lol....during my working season, I am lazy after work and tend to just get food out. Bot ideal but lacking motivation lately. When I am traveling around for a few months I use my coleman butane stove. Typically cook outside but on bad weather, I am set up to do so inside....inside has its downfalls. Food smell doesn't go away for a while lol. Outside has the wind. It can be hit or miss with cooking but while traveling I do alot of skillet cookin.

Also have refrigeration so that makes a world of difference on the road.

If you want the full experience, I would plan an all day. The trail start to finish, I think, is 11 miles. I have never gone all the way out to the homestead at end. To the dino tracks and back, I probably spend about 6 or 7 hours. But I do alot of off shoot trails, stop and explore around, look at rock facings for petroglyphs and caves. This trip I spent a couple extra miles following offshoot trails. 6 or 7 hours.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 Thanks for your estimate!

I do not recall road names. I just gps to picketwire trailhead or withers canyon and it gets you there. The roads, I would guess, are considered dreadful because about a mile or 2 it is a washboard type road. Let a bit of air out of tires if you have a way to inflate them. Helps with it. Me, I just get my teeth and take it slow. Otherwise it is fairly straight and flat. Not bad gettin In and a worthy hike.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 Thanks!

Just one style I have done. Thank you for your feedback and watching.

Watch my Scott's Pine tutorial. That is the best tutorial I have and is pretty thorough. I have better camera viewing of each step. It can be applied to wall hangers and other styles. Thank you for watching.

Thank you I will take a look I love your wire technique very detailed 😊

Thank you for watching

I use 22 gauge wire. That is just my preference. Whatever is your feel good is rhe right gauge wire.

Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching. I try to figure out balance and it is never really planned for. I just wanted a bit of all the experience I got to enjoy, with every trip, in one video. Next one is being uploaded now. Mostly a slap in face Dinosaurs! Lol. Food was great also ;-)

It is a fun experience....even for people with no experience, like me lol. Thanks for watching.

I tried aluminum only once when i first started and i did not like how it wrapped or bent. It may have been bad wire, i do not know, but i settled on copper for the feel. Soft copper holds well and shapes easily.

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 Thanks!

I am unsure what can be found there. Visibly there is alot of qaurts crystal points and clusters. It is dangerous area and rough to drive into. But neat little area.

Thank you for watching

Thank you for your response and my deepest sympathies for your loss. I hope you found some help with this video and you come up with an even greater creation. I still do alot of wire art. I have just hesitated of video production due to Life. I will probably focus on another wire art idea I am working on and do a video tutorial for it within the next few weeks. Anyway, thanks again. Brightest Blessings to you.

The part 3 video was for attaching and doing base work but when i made it, i was over the road traveling for a month and by the time i got around to it, those videos somehow got corrupt. I will probably do another step for step video sometime on just base work. Spring to fall is my vusy time with work so it may be a while.

Thank you for watching.

Get alot of that with winter travel lol. Went away fairly quickly.

Thank you :-)

Thank you. You can make one and it would be beautiful too. No mistakes in craft. Uniqueness is beauty. Thank you for watching.

The colored wire i use is Zebra Wire. They have a website. Sometimes you can find cheaper deals looking on Ebay. Thank you for watching.
