(To learn more about this home or garden ornament, or to buy it, Click here)To make things like this...
...I use a lot of this....
Copper wire. Do I use a little? I buy it in 150 foot rolls. But there are seven strands, and I unravel those to make 1050 feet of wire. Each year, I use about two and a half rolls, or 2625 feet. Over the five years I have been working full time on this style of art, I guess I have used about 15,750 feet of this particular type of wire (I use other types too)~ that's almost three (3!) miles of wire. Yep~ I use a little of this stuff.
If practice makes perfect, my wire bending skills must be pretty darn close to perfect by now. Let's just say I'm comfortable with the technique.
Oh my, what a wonderful ornament! Like the others as well. Really nice works!

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment. Yes~ I almost fell over on Friday when I went and bought a new roll of 1/4 inch copper. One month ago: $27. Friday: $49.50. Ouch! Thanks too for listening to the chimes~ I just bought a USB microphone, and hope to have a better sample soon. Tim~
