My Wire Ghost Story
24 Oct 2009
Okay, this has nothing to do with making handbags or purses but I simply must share. I saw a picture on the internet the other day of a wire ghost made out of chicken wire. It looked so cool I just had to give it a try. It was not as easy as it looked to make it but I managed to shape it into something somewhat resembling a human ghost. You can see pictures of my first attempt below.
Since I was doing a craft fair this weekend anyway, I thought I would put it out and see what happened. I put a flyer with pictures of it outside at dusk and when it got dark. I had many comments on how unique it was and someone eventually bought it. A little later, someone came in looking for the ghost and as disappointed to find that it had sold. She asked me if there was a picture on my site and I had to tell her that since it was a last minute item that I had not listed it anywhere yet. I am not planning on selling these on my etsy site (shipping would not be easy) so I thought I would just post a couple of the pictures here. If there is an interest I may consider making a tutorial that is a little more clear that the one I found online, so leave me a comment if you want to know how I made my wire ghost.
