I have been trying my hand at a bit of basket weaving with wire. This was my first finished piece...
This morning I decided I was going to give it another try, but on a smaller scale - for earrings. Not that that pendant is big - the basket is maybe 2 inches high and less than an inch in diameter.
But earrings... I made a 'frame' of wire and then began to weave with very thin copper wire (approx. 26ga). After an hour...
I had this... another hour of weaving...
and then another hour...
finished baskets. These are not quite an inch in length.
Finished earrings.
The kittens are doing fine...
and mama looks pretty relaxed - after getting a bigger basket to live in... but wait...
there's more.... another litter, oh my.... well, at least they look healthy and happy...
Wishing everyone a great Sunday and hoping the weather is better than here where ever you are!
