An Accidental Meeting of Wirework, Tatting and Sheer Fabric

I love when things come together to make something new.  I received the latest issue of Fiberarts magazine last week and was very inspired when I saw the work of Linda Hutchins who works with sheer fabric sculpture.  Here is a link if you would like to see some of her beautiful work:

So it really was an accidental meeting of the wire basket, the tatting and the sheer fabric. The basket is 1¼" in diameter and 1½" high. The whole piece is about 12" from top to bottom.  Hope you like it. Click on the picture for a close-up view.
