~ Wire worked with hand tools and determination ~ Most things are sterling silver. There is some copper, some beach glass. Not to mention many hours of my life.
This dragonfly is a sample of the smaller ones I've made. It measures approx. 5.5" x 4.5"
I made it for my American cousin and so I used a U.S. quarter to show scale.
$30.

While living in Toronto I took classes at George Brown College and really liked the solderless wirework course. That was 2001. The name "virtually blind" comes from an assessment during a physical for a job with the local electric utility in Toronto. That evaluation made it very easy to impress my new bosses. I stayed 11 yrs., in various capacities. Then I cheerfully accepted an “exit package” and came home to Nova Scotia. Now I am a member of the Metal Arts Guild of Nova Scotia. I am legally blind, and just to keep it interesting, see no colour at all. My favourite colour is shiny. I can usually be found on Saturday mornings bending wire and flogging my wares at the Halifax Farmer’s Market.
