first attempts at wire sculpture

Wire sculpture is a bit different from the typical wire wrap, as here the person can get even more creative with the wire, twisting it and turning it to no ends, letting it become as abstract as they want. I have seen some gorgeous wire sculpture pendants and I decided to try my hands at it. Here are my first test pieces (done in chronological order), turquoise and copper wire. As usual, I'm not too pleased with them, but I see here lots of potential. One obstacle I have though is that I can't get square wire in Cyprus. Round wire doesn't sit too well on the piece, it tends to slip away from the stone and the wire next to it. Oh well, I'll have to work with what I have, I guess, and do the best I can with it...I'll have a few more goes at it in the next few days...
