This large wire sculpture in VanDusen Gardens, Vancouver, is always magical in its setting, and in the snow it looked even better. A wire-sculpted hare that is part of this unit has been stolen.

The very first wire weaving project i tried. I used a tutorial, and I was happy with the result. I like these colours so much I have used them a few times now.

A wire is taped to the top of each aluminum tape pad and soldered to a cable wire. The guitar string is wedged in a slot on the PVC tube. The string is soldered to a cable wire. When struck, the string contacts a pad, closing an electric circuit, triggering a drum sound.

(Hirundo smithii)

 

The wire-tailed swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. It has two subspecies: H. s. smithii, which occurs throughout Africa, and H. s. filifera, which is found in southern and southeastern Asia. It is mainly resident, but populations in Pakistan and northern India migrate further south in winter. The genus name Hirundo is the Latin word for swallow. The species name smithii commemorates Christen Smith, a Norwegian botanist and geologist.

 

The wire-tailed swallow is a small swallow, measuring 18 cm (7.1 in) in length. It has bright blue upperparts, bright white underparts and a chestnut cap. Immature birds lack tail wires, and have dull brown (rather than chestnut) caps. The species is named for the very long filamentous outermost tail feathers, which trail behind like two wires. The sexes are similar in appearance, but the female has shorter "wires". Juveniles have a brown crown, back and tail. The Asian form, H. s. filifera, is larger and longer-tailed than the abundant African H. s. smithii.

 

The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges. The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.

I love the composition of this; at first the fence annoyed me then I shifted a foot to the left and it all fell into place. This is my latest favourite.
