Here's the nest!
I used a Liver of Sulfer patina on it to darken it, however, I discovered that the 24 gauged wire I used was not real copper because it didn't patina.... at all, unlike the rest of the wire. So needless to say, this photo is of it before the patina, and now I am probably going to remove the patina and either paint or color pencil some of the wire to add a more rustic look.
But anywho, let me know what you think of the stucture, form, etc :)
This looks so beautiful lindsay!! It seems very real and fragile. I like the sounds of your new direction.... I can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeleteI really like the last idea you talked about in our conversation tuesday. just go for it and make your decisions based on what's happening in the work as you go. Try permutations and variations on that idea, following your impulses.
