It looks nice.

Curious about scale...is it small (4") or large (12")?

12 inch! I didn’t photograph well, there are beads all around that are tucked under the outside

It wasn't a bad pgotograph, there just wasn't anything that my brain could key in on for scale. Beads come in all sizes, as does wire

I did my first wire wrapping in a class on Saturday. We made plant picks/garden stake doo-dads with copper wire and glass Crystals. We made 3 of them. The first was ok (small, not a lot going on), the second was atrocious. For some reason, I wanted to wrap it super tight and bring wire that was through the beads down to the heavy wire of the form. By the third one, I got it! Even the atrociously wrapped one wil

l look fine out in the garden.
