Initial Foray

This is my initial foray into this genre of wire work. Thanks go out to artist Felix, a.k.a. Andrew, from metalworkers.org for the pointers on where to begin in terms of construction. Thanks for being generous with your time and advice!

I used copper for my initial experiment because I didn't want to be inhibited by the concern of wasting good silver in the event I crashed and burned, so to speak. I didn't get too adventurous this time around. I simply wanted to focus on structural integrity, clean finishing and get a feel for this type of work. I am pleased with my initial experiement and I look forward to hoaning my skills in this genre of work.

While working on this piece, I gained inspiration for another set of experiements which should be a lot of fun ... if I can pull it off, I'll be sure to post images of that as well.

The pic is not the best ... bad lighting and low batteries = a bad combination. I will replace this pic with a better one as soon as I'm able.

Thanks
