Wire Art - Barbed Wire Art - Wire Wall Art

In my shed I have loads of wires, cables, flex, copper wire, chicken wire.  This wire art inspired post is the result of searching on line for inspiration to create art from those pieces.  I love working with metal and wire, as it is durable, malleable, strong, and can capture softness, delicacy and appear gentle.
