Apparently Woods Day is also Make A Big Piece For Trickster’s Trash Day these days. I’m good with that.
I have spirals on the brain pretty often, so I decided to go with that. I even remembered to take a picture of the piece after I framed it out this time!
![The wire's now in a neat spiral; the outer end is fastened to the hoop by more silvery-coloured wire.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200818_144545.jpg)
I tried a couple different arrangements of the seaglass before I found one I was happy with. Not that it looked like that when I was done with it, but, well.
![The pieces of seaglass have been arranged around the spiral, reasonably evenly, from small to large, with the biggest one sitting in the center of the spiral.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200818_152252.jpg)
The first piece, wrapped & put into place!
![The smallest seaglass piece has been wrapped in thin silvery wire, which extends to fasten it between the hoop & the thick wire.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200818_153528.jpg)
That’s where I got all hung up with making it & forgot to take more pictures, but that’s how THAT goes.
Of course nothing quite winds up looking like I’d planned, but I’ve gotten good at refrotzing on the fly.
![There are now six seaglass pieces fastened in the spaces between the spiralling wire. The thicker wire is in sort of a double loop at the center, because the spiral isn't quite the same shape it was before. I don't know how to describe it right, words are hard.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200818_165939.jpg)
Et voila!
![The finished piece, held up in the air, against a background of trees. There are eight white seaglass pieces now, the biggest fastened over the center of the spiral. The sun glows through them & it does look pretty cool.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200818_173123.jpg)
It’s not as well-balanced as I’d like — I think next time I need to leave each seaglass piece somewhat movable until they’re all attached, so I can adjust as I go — but WOW does it catch the light!
This was posted originally to my Patreon, a little over a week ago.
If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.
