This is such an awesome idea! Coral is beautiful but many species are endangered so this is a great way to get the same look without doing damage. Now to look around my backyard for some fallen branches. ☺️
G'day from Oz Mark 😃🥰 Wow now this is certainly a statement piece, beautiful. Yep our Barrier Reef is just amazing, spectacular and sadly suffering in parts due to global warming, bleaching and The Crown of Thorns 😥😤😡 It takes so long to regenerate again.. I won't start on the wrong doings of mankind coz I won't stop lol. This is the first notification for awhile, I see I've missed a few projects grrrr 😟😳😤 Im off to see what you have created since then 😃😉 Hope your all well mate and taking care, bloody freezing here but still got those beautiful crisp clear blue skies, when its not raining lol Wearing a big fluffy, home made, white poncho which makes me look like some kind of snow beast or huge koala 😅🤣 but its warm. Big hugs from Oz xx

Viv! You are spot on...Red coral especially is illegal in some places. The faux is just fine with me!
Hi Mark! Amazing!! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
My pleasure Carol!
So inspiring! I love it!
That is gorgeous Mark!
Thanks Michelle! Have a fun week!
That faux coral turned out great! 🏝️
It's so much lighter than the real thing and I love a nice alternative!
It looks so real!
This is such a fantastic piece. It looks amazing.
Thanks Carla! I'll bet it would look amazing on you!
Happy Monday Mark what a cool idea beautiful piece love the colors ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning old friend! It's nice to see you today!
Love the colors so much!
I must say it’s different ❗️Very festive 🩵💃🏽. Thanks Mark❣️🕊️🤩
Different is alright with me! If it was the same old same old I'd be worried!
What a great idea to mimic coral! I was writing a story about a merman, and I imagine this is the kind of necklace that his mother would wear.
I love it! I wore this all over my studio for 2 days. Plus, the wood is really light, much lighter than real coral.
Now I'm ordering beads and scrounging around in the alley for branches! Happy day!
Find that twig Leah! You'll love how light they are as beads, too!
This is beautiful love it
I'm so happy you think so Paula! I really love what a statement piece it is!
It looks so close to the real thing! Love JOhn Bead....really nice beads.
Thank you so much! 😊
I love loud colors, this project has my name on it....Gorgeous !
Hey Bonnie, I'll bet you would look fabulous in it, too!
I would love to wear this out one night! Such a stunning piece. TFS!
It would look amazing on you!
I love Coral, your idea is amazing! Thanks Mark!
This faux coral made me so happy! I love how close it looks to the real thing!
That was fun to watch! thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Carrie! This gnarly branch was perfect for my faux coral and it had been hanging around my studio for way too long! Happy Tuesday!

I'm so glad Dora! Yay!
Omg you are so darn creative! You have fancy gadgets…..loved your info tidbit too……😀
I do have a few fancy gadgets BUT you could use a jigsaw and a drill and some sandpaper. There are ways around for sure!
Absolutely amazing...I didn't know any of this information about Coral. Thanks sooo much for sharing this #MarkMontano Have a blessed day John 3:17
You, too Linda! I love seeing you in the comments each week!
💙💚🖤 Wow Mark! So beautiful! These are 2 of my favorite color combinations. I just made a necklace using these colors😁
Such great colors, right! Bold and beautiful!
Mark, wonderful, I'll try to make this ❤ thanks for inspiration ❤️❤️
You are so welcome! I love how much the wood looks like real coral. I need to add some more gloss to it!
WOW!!! that's so cool! and beautiful! 😃👍🧜
and that's interesting, I didn't know that coral wasn't a plant... interesting facts. 🤔
So many cool facts about coral...I left out the sad ones...Unfortunately it's dying and we really need it.

Very imaginative and gorgeous m'ijo 🎉

Thank you so much! 😊
Very pretty
So glad you like it Nichole! Happy Tuesday!
This turned out beautiful Mark. Question: In your opinion, is the necklace heavy or lightweight with the branches?
The branches are so much lighter than the real thing. 1/2 the weight at least.
Beautiful!
Thanks Wicked! I'm in love with it and wish I could wear it....I mean outside instead of in my studio! Ha!
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark you should! I bet you'd look fantastic 😄
Too kind! xoxo
Ótima reciclagem Mark! Sai barato e é uma boa idéia! Beijo.

I know it's suffering. I love coral but the real thing is just to precious. Wood for me!
Süper fikir👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Glad you like this one!
Hey Mark, I've got the branches for this project. Please tell me what colors and brands of spray paint that you used.
Whatever reds you like that you can find will work. There is no magic color. I'd just make sure you use a high gloss and give them several coats.
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark Thanks. I'm looking forward to making this necklace.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the love!
I like yours better than the real coral.
Very sweet of you to say! Thank you! Real coral is beautiful but endangered.
