Wire Dreams

Wire Dreams is a cute little store on etsy that offers adorable wire sculptures that are individually handmade. The Israel based artist treats each one of these pieces "as a drawing done in three dimensions." There are canvas wire art of owl, dachshund and turtle, wall decorations and jewelry. This one is my favorite.
