Day Ten

Well, now that I know I actually DO have a few readers I'm more motivated than EVER! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. For day ten I wanted to add something a little different. About 5 years ago I became obsessed with bending wire. I LOVE lines, lines are my favorite element of design, and wire is just a 3D manifestation of line. Plus, I went to an Alexander Calder exhibit in D.C. back in '98 that REALLY influenced my love of wire. (his early works were ethereal wire sculptures that cast the most beautiful shadows)

Sooooo, one of my favorite things to do is make these little wire sculptures from one continuous piece of wire. A 3D doodle, if you will. They are a little difficult to capture in photographs though, but you'll get the idea. This is a little dachshund.
