Wire Project



For my wire sculpture I want to make "fancy" gloves. I want to make them start near the elbow as lace and end as bear paws for the hands. I'm thinking of using white string on the lace part as well as wire and for the actual paws I am not quite sure what to use to make "fur" but have a few ideas.

    I love your idea. I like how you're going from something elegant like a lace glove, to an animal. As far as the fur goes, I'm sure that craft store like Joann's has some type of fake fur fabric.

    I think it would look really if you used the actual wire for fur. It might take a super long time, but you could cut the individual hairs and twist them onto the paw. It would definitely be a more drastic shift from the lace.

    Maybe you could find an old shag carpet to use as the fur. Or even an actual animal skin someone if it wasn't to expensive.

    I agree with rex that it would look really amazing to make the fur from wire. I know it would take a really long time but it would look so good. If you did do the fur out of wire, I think conceptually it would be really interesting to go from soft delicate lace to harsh abrasive wire.

    I also agree with rex, it would look awesome if the fur was wire, it would contrast the lace and have a really great look. How ever if you decide to go with the fur, I know SAS has fake animal fur you could use! I know they have a lot of lace to choose from as well.
