What BEAUTIFUL work! Truly amazing!
Isn't it? Gorgeous! I've been drooling over her work ever since I saw the photo of the first piece - the horse - a couple of years ago (maybe 18 months). And it looks even better "face-to-face"; very, very delicate, not the simplified pieces we all start with... Her work is what has pushed me into choosing a second-level class in wirework (Denver). Not that I ever plan on using a hundred pairs, or wire that fine, but a slight upgrade in skills wouldn't come amiss :)
Regarding the bobbins, though... I notice that they're just ordinary ones, not the "special" ones with hooks (of whatever kind). I can see why not; if you need to pile your bobbins like that, there'd be increased risk that the wire would get caught in the hook of a bobbin it didn't belong to. But then... How do you control the wire? Do you actually put a hitch, as you would with thread?
Are you planning to write a book about your creations?
Hah! She's written a *very nice* article about the Victorian pendant (the one adapted from a hankie corner), which appeared in the NCRLG's Newsletter a few months ago. I asked her to write one for the IOLI Bulletin, but have been unable to extract a promise of one. I suspect hoping for a whole *book* would be asking way too much...
