Loving Wire

A very enjoyable afternoon was spent this weekend at a workshop with Love Wire.

Unusually, I actually managed to finish something. A spoon to begin, to familarise ourselves with all the techniques, and handling of the wire.

Start by curving the wire into an oval shape for the bowl of the spoon and twist the wire to create the shaft.   Curve the remaining wire to form the handle. Wrap wire around to complete the bowl of the spoon and the handle.





For the hooks, bend the wire into the shape. Wrap more wire around a plastic tube to form the central loops. Wrap to hold it all together and bend the hooks up.


 



And some hearts for some finishing touches. Bound to come in handy.
