Metal weaving cont. the experiments with weaving metal has come to an end, the process used is pretty much the same as weaving with willow, but the strenuous nature of wire on the fingers is very different (See earlier post about the physicality of art). The frame work begins with a single circle of woven wire, then further circles are added, weaving them in to the frame work as you go. Once a complete sphere of circles is finished then the next layer is added, just like willow weaving, I call it my messy layer. The job of the messy layer is to cover the entire surface with a mass of lengths zig zagging across the surface, this has two important factors. One - to cover over as many open spaces a possible, and Two - to provide anchor points for the decorative weave later.
