Having successfully made hearts using silver wire this led on to being a little more ambitious and to making some stars and trees to use as Christmas decorations.

On a much smaller scale I made myself a pair of ear-rings, but this was very fiddly so I have only made one pair so far.

For the garden I made a large spiders web; the spider and the fly were bought from
Chi-Africa Ltd who use recycled metal to make their sculptures.

After lunching with a friend who collects dragonflies (not real ones!), I realised that my wire-wrapping method could probably make an effective dragonfly wing and that I could then mount the wings on a suitable piece of driftwood, and so my dragonflies were hatched.
