Wire Sculpture

This is a wire sculpture based on a salt or pepper shaker. I chose this because though the design isn't necessarily the most interesting, it is surprisingly difficult, and I like a challenge in my art. This was made using 18 gauge wire and the fish hook technique, with 24 gauge wire on the top to represent the cover.

It took me many tries to get the fish hook connections just right, and I had to cut them and pull them off so I could start over on that connection.

If I were to redo this piece, I would make my hooks slightly smaller so I could wrap them better around and have less air in the connection.
