more fun with wire – the little wire bed
I’ve been Pinteresting like crazy, looking up all kinds of wire creations. This one here has been one of my favourites for a long time:
wire work by him
I can’t ever say Wayne doesn’t give me romantic gifts. He’s always making me hearts and flowers out of barbed wire. This is one of his creations, its about 8in tall and made of barbed wire, old roofing iron and a chunk of old wood.
The other day he got some new copper wire and made this cute little cowboy boot. I’d been sending him all kinds of links of cowboy boots made out of wire but Wayne always does things his way. Its a boot with a spur and a lasso.
(Ok, I made the rowel – that’s the spikey bit on the spur – cause I wanted it to look cuter.)
Then there’s this trapped man. Its a tortured sculpture, isn’t it?
I love his wire work. He’s so imaginative, which is why I wanted to show off some of his stuff.

fun with wire – a wire crown
The thick wire is about 2mm thick, the brown wire is 24 gauge and the thin gold wire holding the buttons is 28 gauge.

hanging baskets – prettying up the boring side
wirey wedgetail
Wayne is a whiz when it comes to wire. When he was off from work cause of his ribs he got really bored and made this little guy. He’s a wedge tailed eagle. We have wedgies living not far from us in the hills but they’re not seen often down this far.
I once saw a couple of wedge tailed eagles on the way to Ledgerwood in the north of Tasmania. They were huge! They were eating some roadkill by the road as I drove past and I swear, they looked into the car window as they sat there. When I pulled up to take a photo of them, they flew away. Magnificent birds.
Anyway, this little fellow needed a perch and a nest. So Wayne made him one.
I hot blued the wedgie and nest to a broken bit of wood and added a couple of marbles as eggs.
Kinda cute huh?
