Caution!! Sometimes you've got to risk being impaled to get the project done. Chicken Wire bites and has a way of keeping you in the present!!

My New Blue Jay sculpture celebrates the historical occasion of our Toronto Blue Jays competing in the World Series.The last time was 32 years ago and they brought the win back to Canada!! The music reads "Take me out to the Ball Game"

Every time I've received an update from Ball Horticulture in West Chicago, showing the progression of the gardens around my sculptures, my heart feels fuller! Thank you again for entrusting me with your vision for these 6 commissioned sculptures! 🥰 #WemetWireWork #chickenwiresculpture #wireart

I sure do love to watch a thunderstorm from my deck! It helps that I am huddled under a nice warm blanket though! Hope it helps with the Alberta wildfires... 🔥

Spring is just around the corner! Most of these chicken wire sculptures have already found homes, but I am accepting custom orders... 🥰

There's been a Murder in the workshop! These 3 are some of the 1/2 finished projects that have been piling up and creating some major clutter in the studio. There are many components to this piece, but it's coming along nicely now that this trio is almost finished!♥️ #wemetwirework #yegwireartist

Look closely... @thisyegchickengetsaround popped down to East Coulee, Alberta to visit with her cousin that's hanging out down there. I don't see the family resemblance. Do you???

Thought to bring good luck and prosperity in some cultures, the Red Wing Blackbird is a resilient little warrior! They continue to thrive when many of our other feathered friends' numbers are on the decline. The trill of their song on the prairie is as much a harbinger of spring(to me)as the Robin.

My Kintsugi paperclay bowl is 5.5"x5" (Kintsugi is the belief that some things are even more beautiful for having been broken)
It took a couple of false starts to get the details to where I am satisfied but I think it's quite pretty! ♥️
