Hello everyone!
This is my first wire sculpture of 2022, and it was a commission. My clients wanted a moose, and though I'd wanted to make one for some time, I was now faced with the challenge of finding embellishments that actually looked like moose antlers in the size they wanted the animal to be. Well, nothing could be found unless I wanted to invest some serious money, so I had to get creative and build my own antlers in wire. And they were actually a lot of fun to make!
This moose is made with dark annealed wire, copper wire, and a little steel fencing wire (in the antlers, for sturdiness and strength). On his body, I also added some brown-coated copper wire for a nice, warm, reddish-brown color for his fur. This fellow was a challenge with his unique forms...I learned so much in the making of this piece. It was fun! I was actually a little sad to see him go. I'd like to make another.
This moose measures 8 inches long by 7.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide.
Though he is now in his new home, I still welcome C&C. Thank you so much for looking!
