I've been working on these ATC's for a couple of weeks now, totally obsessed with trying to make them workout right - and having a hard time with it. I think my wire is too big, but I'm having a hard time finding the right kind....so i'll keep trying. I love the concept of these, but I think they are still a little on the rough side, not good enough to give away just yet because I still need to figure out the techniques to work with the wire to make them look better.
The one below is supposed to be a trillium....it has the shape but I had a hard time with the red wire on the top leaf. Oh well, I guess practice makes perfect, right??
That's all for today. I ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes this morning and then went to the bike path with the boy and ran another mile and walked a mile and a half....I'm kinda wiped out rignt now, must need to drink some more water! Have a crafty evening....I'm off to pj land and then NCIS! TA TA, for now that is.
Just curious, do you have a book of techniques?
