Day 1 - Happy Birthday
Wire and Pencil / $150.

Today is my birthday. I have decided to create a wire sculpture each day for the next 364 days. My challenge will be to make a piece out of wire and found objects, that is in some way inspired by the day.

Day 2 - Good Morning
Wire and Pieces of Tape Measure / SOLD

For me, there is no sound more welcoming than the birds chirping and chattering before sunrise in the spring. Open the windows and hear the day being born.

Yesterday I received a fist full of the fabulous, variegated, chocolate brown wool for my Gratitude Map USA Project. Today, I sent a handwritten Thank You note to my thoughtful contributors.

Day 4 - Water
Wire and Mini Globe / $125.

There is nothing like clean, pure water after working out!
This morning I barely made it through the body works class - just didn't have the energy.
The only saving grace was my water.

Day 5 - Found Money
Wire and Found Quarter / $225.

Day 8 - Insects
Wire and Rock / $125.

As I sat on our stone wall, whifs of hyacinths floated by. The warmer weather also brings the insects out of hiding. An ant that I couldn't even feel ran over my toes. Then I heard a buzzz.

I've been working on a large horse for a client. It will stand about 7 feet high by 4 feet wide by 2-3 feet in depth and be quite lovable.

Day 16 - Quinoa
Wire and Piece of Globe / $150.

Day 20 - Only Woman In the Room
Wire and Button / $125.

I was listening to a conversation on NPR with a woman who was a computer programmer. She said that during the first 15-20 years of her career, there were many times that she was the only woman in the room.

Day 23 - When It Rains It Pours
Wire and Cocktail Umbrella / $150.

I use salt and vinegar to clean my steel sculptures after fabrication is completed. It helps to remove grease and achieve a natural rust patina on the pieces.

Day 24 - Brush Work
Wire and Rock / $125.

Today I needed to recoat some of my sculptures with a rust inhibitor. So I decided to paint outside. It was a beautiful morning! What a joy to be out in the spring air and sunshine working away.

Day 29 - Zest
Wire and Twist Tie / $125.

The thrill of using my zester to get long threads of yellow from the rind is such a challenge. ...but, the essence of lemon on your hands, when you've finished, is a refreshing perk.
