Wire art

Very good! Do you have experience with sculpting or another art form? You are talented. Did you come up with the design for the fox?
You may want to consider using colored pens to sketch on your wood to avoid all the pencil smudges....

Thanks Eddy, I added it to my Amazon cart. I see that people paint it on rocks as well to bring out the coloring and design. I love collecting cool rocks and petrified wood with my kids.
I use titebond 3 to glue wood, but wanted to try this since it is clear and says it does plastic and metal...

Thanks everyone
Ed - I'll have to check out brazing. I'm not familiar with what it is.
Arthur - I completely agree....

Thanks everyone!
Bob - I never noticed the belly pattern either. I don't the flickers around western Washington have it. I'll have to keep a look out.
Here is the pic I modeled the paint after.
Thanks...

Hi Eddy, I don't know what Triple Thick is. I didn't use super glue. I used the regular clear gorilla glue to make the lenses. Thanks....

I'm starting to get interested in wire art and sculpture as something else to try besides carving. I did this today of my kids. I got the idea from a much better version of a couple I saw on Pinterest. My soldering is rough and I don't think I can clean it up without it falling apart. The shadow looks...

Thanks Brian. I think the flickers we have here in western Washington have more subdued coloring. I'll have to keep my eye out....

It's looking good. This piece has a lot of movement. You could always just go for it and use this as a practice piece if it doesn't turn out how you would like....

Hey all. The birds are a bigger hit than my caricatures with family and friends. This was made for a friend of my wife who is really into birds. Thanks for taking a look....

I carved this guy a couple of months ago and thought he looked kinda creepy. .....so I decided to practice making glasses on him. I used 19 ga wire soldered together, glued on a piece of card stock to the back of the frames, trimmed it and painted all of it black, then I filled in the front of the lenses...

Looks great. I really like the look of the wood too....

Well done Randy. That looks great. The base is really nice as well....

Looking good Joe....

Looking forward to watching this progress Ed. Any thoughts on how you'll be doing John's glasses? I just broke out my wife's soldering iron today to make a pair of sunglasses for a little bust I did awhile back. Lynn Doughty has a great tutorial on making glasses on YouTube....
