WiredElements

Hello friends!  I have a new website at wiredelements.com

Friends,

  Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful comments! They come at such a perfect time for me since I have been unable to devote myself to my craft due to work and family responsbilities.

  Your comments are a sweet oil on my charred flesh!

Thanks so much to xlntwtch for the nomination!

Dear Deviants,

  Thanks for all your awesome comments on the DD! I have read each one and it is such a wonderful boost to an artistic soul to have your work appreciated. I'm sure all of you artists know and understand this feeling I have)

  Thank you Solarune for nominating me, Awesome!!  Thank you Frocktarts for the feature!!

  I can tell you that, yes, I made the copper wire basket myself. It measures about 2 inches high. It was not my intent to make an octopus, but I was thinking of flower petals. However I agree it looks like an octopus and I love that it did not turn out  like my original intent. It came out so much more alive and better than my original symmetrical plan with it's tiny asymmetrical tendrils and it's lively tentacles

The wire gauges used were 18 and 24.

It took me more than 20 hours, but I rarely count the time my work takes anymore. Why bother? Most of my work takes many hours and I have given up keeping track.

  Thank you for bringing this year to such a beautiful and exciting end for me!!

I was so surprised to log on to Deviant Art today and discover so many comments and feedbacks. I had no idea there was a "Daily Deviation"!
  I am so moved in my heart that I was nominated and accepted to be featured! It's a great and amazing gift!
  Thank you Alena-light and MyntKat and DeviantArt for making my day!!
