Hello everyone!
This is my first art post here, and of course, I have sat here and wondered what to share first. I work in Scratchboard, Pen and Ink, and also make animal wire sculptures. So today, I'm sharing a wire sculpture. I make them with multiple gauges and types of wire, and finish them off with assorted found items, whether they are vintage or new jewelry or literal rusty bits and pieces from my dad's shop, or something I found discarded on the pavement in a parking lot. It's usually jewelry, though, because I like the elegance of something to contrast with the industrial feel of the wire.
This is the Queen of Hearts, a horse sculpture that I made a couple of years ago. I have newer pieces, but just felt like starting with this one. As I'm new here on Creative Spark, I hope it's ok to post sculpture in Wildlife Art? Otherwise, I can post in the Sculpture channel next time. Your thoughts are welcome on this.
Queen of Hearts is made with dark annealed wire. Wing-shaped embellishments make her ears. Her mane and the chain that extends down her back are an elaborate necklace that I arranged and changed around to work as her lovely trappings. Additional gold chain made her tail and the chain loops along her sides. The final touch was the addition of hearts to her mane and on her face. She measures 9 inches tall by 8 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.
I welcome comments and critique. This sculpture has found a new home, but I'm always happy to learn. Thanks so much for looking!
