I love paper. I love the feel of paper. I love the smell of paper. I even love the sound of paper, when I riffle* through an old book or wave a large piece of cardstock through the air.
But, y'know... sometimes you want something more than just paper.
The medium for this piece is some nifty aluminum wire mesh I picked up from my local art-n-craft store. It's normally used as a framework for sculpting, so it's cuttable and bendable but stiff. This piece was originally formed from a 6" square of the stuff. It is 5 1/4" long with a 5 5/8" wingspan.
As will all the other photos on this site, you may click on it to display a larger version. Be advised, however, that this image is considerably larger than normal -- I loved the intricacies of the mesh that were caught by the camera, and I hated to shrink the file.
* Yeah, it's not a real word. You know what I mean.

Very cool with the reflection and everything!
Thank you, doogie. The photo was taken with a flash camera, with the crane resting on a glass table above a black ground. It made for a nice effect.
