Here is the final prototype that I started here. I'm excited! It may not look like much, but it's just what I needed to do to see the possibilities of crocheting wire for a 3-D object. I messed around weaving in a little dyed silk organza just to see the effect and added some of my felted pieces plus a washer as I crocheted.
The heavier wire ring around the bottom and the vertical wires were added after I finished crocheting in order to give it structure.
Next: Knitting with wire in 3-d to see the difference.
