    Love the triangular wire. Never thought of that.

    Very nicely done sir!

    Thank you Martin. My love affair with triangular wire started yeas ago when I made this lucky cat for a tutor who was retiring. When you push the pendulum, the hand waves. This was in the days of film and the pic is scanned in from a print. Dennis.

    Beautiful Dennis as always...

    Do you mind me asking where you get the triangular wire from - i've only managed to source some in the us.

    Thank you

    Hi Sonia, how are you? Most of my work is made from non standard wires, so I have a bunch of draw-plates and draw my own. I also use my home made draw bench. Regards, Dennis.

    Hi Dennis

    I'm fine thank you! I was afraid you were going to say that you drew (?) it down yourself.

    That is absolutely gorgeous Dennis and I love the fact that you've incorporated movement within the design.

    When I first saw it I'd assumed you'd put it through the mill, but on closer inspection the wires have such good edges that it can only be a drawplate.

    The question is whether necessity leads to our greatest work. Or freedom ...

    No, The more pressing the necessity, the more commercial the product. A the extreme end you get Ratner.
