Go wild for wire! That was the call
to action and I did. I made a new wire bird nest.

I used copper wire, with no protective coating, to make the nest and carefully shaped and work hardened the wire, then added
white glass pearl beads. The bail is integrated into the nest. One of the wire
ends was used to make it.
Once the nest was finished I dipped it into a liver of sulphur solution
to darken the copper and give it patina. Well I guess I made the solution
stronger than usual because boy did it ever darken. Out came the pro polish pad
to take off more of the patina than usual. Once the colour was where I wanted
it a permanent sealant was added to protect the birds nest.
