First @starjewel welcome to steemit! I haven't met you yet but I'm happy @danielsaori's game introduced you to us! You seem like a wonderfully nice person and I love how you express yourself through your art! (I can see you enjoy it by the "fun party" your golden fish are having! hahaha)
I particularly was drawn to Spiky though, she is a cute little thing and reminds me a of girlfriend I once had. Pretty blue eyes, soft pouty lips, and of course the bad hair days that happened more times than not! lol :D
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and congratulations on being selected to be the post featured in this awesome game #steemitcommentchallenge!
@davemccoy Thank you and nice meeting you, I am following you now :) looking forward to read your posts. Yes, I do have fun with my wire art. I am happy Spiky put a smile on your face... besides all, the purpose of art is to bring out our emotions.
Yes, Spikey is quite some fish. :) Nice creation!
How much of it is improvisation or do you have a set plan from the beginning?
I have a plan initially... but in my head, not on paper. I usually start with a frame and build layers on top of layers. Improvisation mostly. Spikey started as an egg 🥚. Four criss-crossed wires in an oval shape, like an egg or a human fist. All fish ornaments are 3D. Spike’s fins are like porcupine fins, all around. I coudn’t capture that in the picture, I guess I need more than one picture to show the three dimensional aspect.
Blue eyes are quite lovely too. ;)
