Wire Fish and beads





Did I tell you I was also faffing about with a wire fish that I made a couple of years ago. I have lots of beads and jewellery hanging about some broken some just dated and I NEED to do something with it all.





















 I decided I'd decorate my fish with some old bits and pieces I have in various boxes. The fish is about 45 cm long and about 20cm in diameter. He looks great just hanging there with sun glinting off his bling!

I love to mosaic

Mosaic is another of my interests and I've been busy for a few years now decorating anything that I think could be improved by the addition of glass mirror and tile pieces.
 

 



  I really like the effect the broken mirror pieces have I think they breath new life into almost anything. :)

Woven Steel lamps / sculptures







I make lamps from woven steel strips. The strips are collected from factories who are going to throw them away. I first straighten them and then weave large sheets which later become the lamps.
 

Each one is filled with either a coloured tube bulb or filled with Christmas lights for the mosaic effect.






 







The structures themselves can also be used purely as sculptures without any lights inside I have a couple in my garden nicely rusted.
