Wire-Bonsai

A few weeks ago I needed a centerpiece for a table that had a Japanese feel to it. After striking out at the few Asian Markets I know of in my area, I decided to make something. This was the result: a tree meant to resemble a Bonsai tree that is made from wire (two-thirds of it brass, and one third antique brass for contrast) and some green gemstones that I had cannibalized from a bracelet I'd bought at a garage sale a few years ago. (I'm not sure what kind of stone they are to be honest.)  The piece of wood is drift-wood that my Mom brought back for me from a beach trip.  Also, I must state that clearly photography is not my forte when it comes to being artistic. *LOL* Feedback is welcome.
