I really enjoyed experiencing the 3D pathway, I have used wire before but never welded it together. The wire I have previously used has been craft wire that is really bendy and easy to manipulate, but this time I was able to use a spot welder to attach lots of pieces of wire together. I used my ink drawing from Dolphinholme to base my work on, and overall I think it was very successful. Wire work really interests me and I think I would like to carry on with it and mix it with my textiles.
The work of Helaina Sharpley is detailed and intricate, and she also works with some natural elements (however, this isnt what she is most famous for, she works with teacups). The more natural works created by Helaina are what I am interested in. In the image of her work below, she uses thin wire to include detail, I have also used the thin wire to draw more easily with. I can relate to this type of work as I enjoy working with wire and took great pleasure in creating my piece. Helaina's work is detailed and time consuming, but every item is unique and this is what like about wire.
