Wire Gone Crazy!

I'm getting a hankering to do some more gourds...it's been awhile.  All my artist friends have had me happily preoccupied with mixed media pieces in between making jewelry.  If I leave my gourds for too long, they start calling to me and are feeling neglected.

I'm getting visions of combining embossed and painted metal and wire with a gourd.  One of the last crazy pieces I did was a wired gourd is called "Wild Red".  The piece actually made itself--my hands seemed to be on auto pilot, and I was delighted with the results.

Here's Wild Red...

I painted the gourd and then used copper wire, artistic wire and beads for the embellishment...

Red is such a wonderful color, don't you think??

More to come,
