Master 26 whimsical wire sculptures from animals to VW buses
Animals, botanical elements, vehicles including a detailed Volkswagen bus, and decorative pieces that incorporate mixed media elements.
Clear photographs document each construction step, showing hand positions and wire manipulation techniques that matter when working with delicate materials. The book covers essential tool selection and basic wire-working methods before moving into pattern execution. Projects extend beyond standalone sculptures into functional applications, greeting cards, wall plaques, and mixed media compositions that combine wire with wood, paper, glass, and repurposed flatware.
This approach emphasizes technique mastery over rigid pattern following. Once you understand how wire responds to bending, wrapping, and shaping, the patterns become starting points for original designs. The 8.5x8.5 format provides detailed visual reference while remaining manageable at your work surface. Paperback construction keeps the book open flat during project execution, practical when you need both hands free for wire manipulation.
