day eleven: 34

'work with wire. thin-gauge wire can easily be bent by hand, so no special tools are required. you don't even have to buy wire if you have some paper clips handy.'

a few years ago i took a class called intro to sculpture & one assignment was making an insect from wire so i made a praying mantis. i actually work with this wire quite often and make letters or other small objects that i sell on etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/mushaboome). after i was finished i put him on top of a wire basket i have hanging on my wall for a shelf and he filled in the empty space perfectly. i was getting discouraged a few days ago but i think i'm past the giving up stage. excited for the days to come!
