Wire Trees with a Twist

Bunny Magic wire trees began sprouting in 1999, when Bunny Shank and her friend Stevie needed to understand how traditional wire trees were made. They took a class from a local lapidary society. Stevie was satisfied with knowing how, but Bunny became addicted. With a little imagination combined with the love of geology, Bunny revitalized an old art form.

Bunny has been a Pennsylvania resident for the past 20 years and has collected rocks from all over the United States. She has used Garnet Mica Schist from Fairmount Park in Philadelphia to Serpentine from California as bases for her trees.

Her trees come with or without stone leaves. All stones are semi-precious gemstones. She has Amber, Amethyst, Aventurine, Carnelian, Citrine, Emerald, Fluorite, Garnet, Howlite, Iolite, Jade, Jasper, Kyanite, Labradorite, Lapis, Malachite, Moonstone, Obsidian, Peridot, Rhodochrosite, Ruby, Sapphire, Tiger Eye, Tourmaline and Unakite.

She has wire trees on rocks, in lamps, in glass ornaments, in frames and on birdhouses. If something lies around the house long enough it gets a tree put on it. She even has trees that have been designed to be decorated with your own earrings.

All trees are locally grown. No watering required. No dusting. No pruning. And she guarantees that they will not die.
