I think the idea is progressing nicely, it just needs further tweaking. I keep seeing these trees as women, between the curve of the trunk and the hair-like effect of the wire. mirrorshard says they remind him of dancers.
The colours will certainly make it look pretty rich and vivid, they're lovely strong sunset colours. Red and gold and copper and terracotta and hot pink and lashings of metallic gold as well. The nice thing about that design, if you look at the coffee cosy (it's the second one), is that it manages to suggest leaves as well. Certainly the colours will have an impact: it would definitely look witchy if I did it against stormy dark greys and blues, but I think it needs just a bit of change to uplift it slightly.
