Wire Sculpture Demo!

Here is the the link to more information about the Wire Sculpture Workshop

: http://www.zhibit.org/rag/workshop-with-lyn-feudner-june-25-2011

I've been asked to do a Wire Sculpture Workshop for The Ramona Art Guild!  I did a wire sculpture demo for RAG  in Nov. of 2009, here is a link to the slideshow I did at that time Wire sculpture
If you enter wire in the search area in the upper left of the blog you will see more of my wire creations.  This should be allot of fun.  I have some ideas for very simple mobiles and turning a contour drawing into wire sculpture.  I will have a station for forming of the wire. Hammering is good for the soul! I will provide several types of wire to work with.  You are welcome to bring some of your own if you've been saving it for "something".

If you've ever looked at something made with wire and wondered if you could do it yourself, here is a chance to explore some of the possibilities of working with wire!

Dog # 70 to 75 and Every Day in May #131. 30. 29, 26 and #3e

I checked the whole month and I'm 5 dogs short of  a dog a day!  My challenge was really just to continue the 100 dog drawings I started last year and now have completed 69 sketches.  The last 17 I did so fast they will not apply to the count. I tried to do one a minute.  The exercise of repeditive drawing  allows you to focus on the most  simple structure of the dog. Without any reference at least 12 of them were convincing dogs, perhaps not a recognisable breed, It was good  practice 31 more dogs does not seem that distant.

How about 100 faces with just one line?

Oh yes the 5 remaining challenges.  I have wire people dancing for #129 Now that I've looked at the live sponges I'd like to do a colorful watercolor of them for #126, I have to look up #103 ( how did I miss that one so soon?)  I can do #'s 130 and 131 to night yet!

Dog # 66 and Every Day in May #125 draw a bird

Have to post 3! dogs am tomorrow...sun just set!

Dog # 65 and Every Day in May #124 draw something yellow

This started as a drawing on copper foil which was then cut out with an exacto knife, soldered and glass pieces shaped into a small box. I'm always looking for a perfect sky piece of glass for the background.  Tonught as the sun went down it was pure golden yellow an reminded me of this box.

Dog # 64 and Every Day in May #123 draw a ball

Quick sketch of a dog after a ball

Dog # 63 and Every Day in May #120, 121 and 122

Challenge # 120 draw a flashlight and # 122 Shade (or shadows) part of the subject.
Ok I was a little lazy to combine the two : )

# 121 Coins, I thought I would take a very close look at a quarter, magnified the edge of the quarter and saw was very dinged and dented and also the Copper part was uneven
