Trying a new medium

[The Falcons Quill]

I recently started making acorn ornaments to sell at shows. See my previous post: acorn ornaments

So naturally I needed a display to show them off. A regular Christmas tree was just not going to cut it. Not showy enough. I decided to learn wire wrapping. A half hour on YouTube and I would say that was enough learning and dove in.

It's made with 150 feet of galvanized 16 gauge wire form Home Depot ($6.50). And about 5-6 hours of twisting. The base is a piece of mountain laurel root dug up while we were in Virginia.

Here is a link to the video I learned from.

Comments and criticism is welcome

And thank you to Charlie_W for helping to learn to upload from
my phone in the correct orientation

.... How did you get it to hang sideways off the wall like that? And why are all the acorns hanging sideways towards the wall too?

The magic of not knowing how to get the uploads from my phone to show right. And using the force.

Great job on the tree! The acorns work well on it.

Wait, now your wall is sideways?!? Was it an earthquake?


Help us, Obi Wan Kenobi ... you're our only hope!

And who said folk art is dead? I see it's alive & doing quite well. :biggrin:
