I create hand twisted wire sculptures inspired by the quirkiness and beauty of nature. Each piece is hand twisted, not heat or solder, with needle-nose pliers and patience. Every piece is unique and the menagerie ranges from the mythical to the mundane. Dragons and unicorns hand out with sparrows and deer.

Wow. These have such a distinctive aesthetic. Beautiful. Similar to one-line-drawings but even more appealing by their physical presence. Congratulations on your talent.
Thank you so much, this is an incredibly kind compliment.
Wow, these are creative and impressive. Do people ever use them as sculpture templates?
That could be a market for you to get into - for people that don't want to do the wire work themselves.
Some of them are still available on my website, alisonbrynnross.com and I also do custom work if there is something in particular you'd like to see. Thanks!
Thank you! It's been a long time since I've done either, definitely time to give them a shot again!
