Bit of a slow day today I'm afraid, so not much progress made. I'm blaming the awful weather and assorted Christmas related chores for preventing me from getting into the workshop.
I've now managed to get all of the holes cut out and have started the equally fiddly task of fitting the copper tendrils.
I start by hammering copper wire to flatten it out. This gives me something more organic looking (well it does to me).
I then start trial fitting the strand into the main body. I bend the wire in order for it to lie as flat as possible against the silver surface.
The overall effect is to try and get the piece to look as if the copper elements have grown out from the body and are snaking around the parts which have been 'eaten' away.
