For all my other pieces I’ve first included a sketch of the idea…but not this time:) I did do a sketch, but I’m afraid it looks like a child’s drawing destined for the premier spot on the refrigerator. It brings back early memories when I had just completed the most glorious elephant ever created in crayon. I presented it with such pride to some “parental unit”…I honestly don’t think it was my mom but maybe a grandparent. And the response, “Oh this is beautiful…what is it, dear?” was horrifying. At 3 I just couldn’t believe that an adult didn’t know an elephant when they saw one. So, since I don’t relish any of you asking me “what is it,” I decided that the sketch of my new piece will be only for my reference:) So, I am going to try to post many more photos than I have in the past showing each progressive step. Let’s see if you can guess what it is…feel free to leave comments — I look forward to hearing from you!

Here’s the first: The wire support frame.
