For anyone who is familiar with my blog, you might remember that in the past I have made “art” out of wire. I don’t do it as much any more (I’ve had one project on the go since last Christmas) but I am not opposed to it. Recently, a friend reached out to me to find out if I still made wire things. Her friend … Continue reading Congrats Mr & Mrs Kowalenko
Well, April 3rd rolled around and my last Christmas gift was finally delivered to family in Canada, which means I can now post a blog with pictures of said gifts without spoiling any surprises! So here they are! I made little wire art for mi familia back in Ontario. Continue reading Presents from Christmas Past
It was one year ago today that I posted a picture of my first wire sculpture, an owl. I still really enjoy making different pieces, although, now with two jobs (instead of zero like when I started) I don’t have as much time to make things. But here, is a picture of a Christmas present I made for my boss. I got a little creative … Continue reading Wireversary
This is a birthday wire sculpture I made for my manager at Saffrons. She is a devout Goth so I thought I would try to include some of her favourite things into one wirey package! The finished product is somewhat different than I had intended when I started but I think it turned out pretty cute. Plus, she loved it and that’s all that matters, … Continue reading Birthday Gifts
My friend Katie’s mum asked me to make something out of wire for her daughter; we talked about it a little bit and settled on something with cats. You see, Katie has two cats. Katie is also very silly and I imagined that her cats are also very silly. What is more silly than the thought of cats playing with and getting tangled up in … Continue reading Cats & Yarn
The reason I started making wire sculptures is partly because of the Alexander Calder exhibit I saw at the Art Gallery of Ontario but mostly because it was something my grandpa used to do. There are numerous wire portraits around my grandma’s house, a few animals, and most notably, a wire airplane. The airplane is a very popular piece with my whole family, and it … Continue reading Homage to Boggy Bob
Happy Star Wars day, world! Also, I made this wire thingy for the occasion! Continue reading May the 4th Be With You!
In accordance with one of my video ideas from yesterday, I made a video of me creating some wire art (or “scupture” as I apparently said). Can you guess what I am making before I am done? I will post a picture in a couple days so as not to ruin the game. It took me about half an hour to make this, but you … Continue reading Wire In Motion
Day 3, video 3. Today’s video is basically just a shout out to my family who are all gathered at my Grandma’s house in Thornbury right now. Well, maybe not all right now. It’s still pretty early in the afternoon in Canada so Katie, Tony, and Is will probably be arriving in the next few hours. But, once they get there, everyone will be gathered … Continue reading Happy Easter
I made this one a little while ago, it was a request by my friend Mike. I ended up making it and sending it to him for his birthday so I didn’t want to post a picture of it until I knew he’d received it, so as not to spoil the surprise. Well, he has received it so now I can make a post! Now, … Continue reading Mr Turtle
