Here is one of my experimental wire pieces I did back in 2010. I used Inkscape an open source vector design app to design and produce the template for drilling the holes for the red tie wires to fit through. I used a hand drill to carefully drill the holes through the template that was printed on an inkjet printer then taped to the piece of 1/2 inch thick plywood. The black multiple wire cable is some I purchased along with the red single strand wire from a DIY store. The diagonally placed stick anchored to the panel with black uncoated wire and end with the blue pointed end attached using two nails is a tree twig.

I only created one other larger piece like this using red and wires. I count them as failed experiments that no one has much interest besides me. I have a couple of ideas using this style that I have put on hold indefinitely.

I don’t really like the title I originally gave this one but can’t seem to come up with one more suitable.
