Scorpion

Spence bought a really cool scorpion made of wire at the farmer's market last weekend.  Now, I'm a pretty crafty guy myself, so I figured I could copy it.

I spent about a half-hour studying the weave of wires, then I went to work.

First, I bundled 8 wires together to form the core, then began weaving the other eight wires into a body and legs.

Pretty cool, huh?
