I love wire sculptures, and this is my first attempt at it. It's not finished yet. I'm thinking of maybe spraying it a black color and adding glass beads to it. This was actually easier than I thought it would be, and adding all of the little swirly designs to it was a lot of fun.

Here's some fun beads that I found at Walmart for this project and for my students to
use as well. I love the variety of the turquoise colors.
I also found this E6000 glue for both jewelry and beads. I did a little research, and from
what I read, E6000 glue is suppose to be some of the best glue for jewelry out there.I'll give it a try on the beads for now.
I spray painted the wire with Miracal spray enamel from the dollar store. I love the
contrast of the black and the bright turquoise beads together! The beads add that
finishing touch to the sculpture. I think I have ten beads on this piece.
The first photo is in my kitchen where it looks very cute next to the off white
wall. The second photo is outside right in front of a tree. My first intention
was to hang this outside by using a long black iron garden hanger attached to the top
of this and to let the sun shine on the beads. I think it will look very pretty

dangling below the pine trees or maybe in my house--I'm not sure yet. Either
way, it's very whimsical and cute!
The third photo is next to a tin building so you can get another view of it. Working
with wire sculpting is a totally different media for me, but so far it's a very rewarding one,
too.
