Practice Pieces
These are some pieces that I created while practicing and building my skills. I didn’t include them in my gallery for that reason. ; )
Practice makes perfect? We shall see. I love twisting and weaving wire. It is relaxing and almost meditative for me.
For those of you that make wire trees, how did you start? What was your drive to create with wire? Where are you now in your experience and what do you do with your finished pieces? Please share in the comment section.
Green with Owl charm
This is my first try with color wire. I purchased green for making saguaro cactus. I haven’t attempted that yet! YIKES!
I created webbing and wanted to put something in the middle but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Color wire is hard to work with as I noticed if I scrape it, the color comes off! Maybe I should try a different brand of color wire?
Brown
This was a practice tree. I kept it very plain just to get used to shaping the wire. I was going to add an owl charm but decided it was good the way it is.
Indian Agate
I made this one last night. I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I unwrapped the entire tree and put it back together again. That was mess! I do like the branches but the trunk is a freaking nightmare. I have some Indian Agate chips wrapped into the trunnk. (can hardly see them in this photo)
