My latest project - Challenge for Fibers and Fabrics part 2

I have been busy working on this, and have finished some more elements.  I've finished my Beetle, the Gecko and some grass.  I want to add more grass and some leaves, but will work on them later.

Here is the piece so far.
And so closeups:
 A beetle
 The Gecko
and woven picot grass.

Arlene, When you say you wrap the wire do you do this by a buttonhole stitch?? What gauge of wire do you use? I hope you do not mind the questions. cjquilter00@charter.net Thanks Judy

This project is absolutely beautiful. I would love to learn this technique, but I really need to stick with some long-term projects first. Theresa
