Happy Thanksgiving! and WIP



Happy Thanksgiving to friends and family!
  Inspired by the current Cloth Paper Scissors mag I decided to try my hand at some wire art.
I decided to try this dress using rebar wire and not what the article suggested.   Let's just say I would
suggest you use same gauge wire she used.  Less cussing. 
Here is where I am at now~

dress shape is one I "winged" as I went (fabric already pinned so no before photo) 
dress with fabric skirt attached

soda bottle for size reference

side view of the "sleeves" 
  My plan is to add a layer of something to the front of the skirt-hanging off the wire "waist" and I will
add something to the bodice area too, but haven't decided what that will be-More pictures when I finish it.  I may even start another one w/20 gauge wire this time.

Quick Post

I'm feeling the need to re-do my blog. Again.  Maybe it's the right-brainer in me that I can't find one design that i can stick with.  I feel the need to change it up around halloween (for the month) or after that for "now."  So for now, i leave you with this:

and you can see if you are left brained or right brained.  me-right. 62%  38% left
