Not my work. My wife has taken up wire wrapping and weaving over the last month or so.

Do I need a better excuse to cut more cabs?

But I think I have to buy her some sterling wire, and take better photos.

Love the wraps too. Great work!

Live scorpions are definitely creepy. They (and other arachnids) don’t have real heads. Faces should not come out of shoulders. At the same time, they are fascinating. Love the wraps, though.
