I finally resolved what to do with the ends of wire for my recycled sculpture, I have always liked the kinks and irregularity of the wire as I unweave it from its original form. I am using chicken wire at the moment for these pieces, and I have made the lengths as long as possible when placing it over the frame in the kiln for firing. Strangely this seems to be the correct length to balance the whole piece.
The beads on the ends are pieces I have scavenged from old jewelry and chandelier pieces, and they create the feeling of movement in the piece. The blue glass is from a wine bottle, whole piece reminds me of the windswept tree that you find on the coast.
The width of the weave of the wire, gives a different feel to the piece, and accentuates the color of bottle
these are exquisite. love the wind-swept tree.
………..excellent pieces with nice visual interest.
Thanks
I’m finding it really interesting the the negative space formed my the beads at the ends of the wire, makes the piece seem complete
