FACE NO 23 FOR 29 FACES FEBRUARY 2014

SATURDAY, 22 FEBRUARY - FACE 23

'ALL WIRED UP AND ON A SHORT FUSE'
Digital drawing on Brushes App on I-Pad
by Jez
When I was young, there was a craze for making bracelets and necklaces from the various thin, coloured electrical wires that were inside an electric cable.  We would cut away the black outer casing of the cable to reveal the coloured wires.  I don't know whether children still do that today.

For today's face I had the idea of a lady created by twisting that kind of coloured electrical wiring and creating a 2-D 'sculpture'.  In the absence of any wire, and reluctant to cut the cable from the TV or toaster, I created the face by drawing on my I-Pad using the 'Brushes' app.

So easy to draw and she came out just as I had imagined her, and really gives me the feel of tangled wires.

    Very clever. I have never heard of making bracelets from fusewire but it sounds lots of fun!

    Chuckling at the thought of you explaining to Dev why the kettle wasn't working - yep better idea to fake the effect ;)

    All your faces have such character and mischief - I always wonder what they are thinking!

    Jez this is wonderful! I love it! Kids right now are making bracelets from these different colors elastics. I don't know what they are called. This relates to this so much! Wonderful!
