#big present

I used modeling wire, the type you use to internally support a clay model, as the internal support, and reinforced the littler “branch offs” with heavier duty floral wire. Now I’m using a shitton of silver and copper floral and wreath wire to wrap this bad boy. I am already over 150ft of wire in. Just wrap wrap wrap in different ways. And be glad I have glasses as eye protections because sometimes it tries tow hip out of my hand and gets close to my face. Still, 3.5 hours of labor later (well, labor while watching TV) I can confirm this WILL be a thing. More likely by Xmas, hopefully won’t need until the last day of Hanukkah instead but whatever works, works. Thankfully Grandma’s Hanukkah present is already done so this can get total focus.
