 This wire spiral Christmas Tree is one of my newest designs in my etsy shop. wireartink.etsy.com 
This design is particularly special to me because my five year old niece and I worked on making one this Thanksgiving holiday. It was the second time I'd seen my niece since she as born because she lives so far away. She picked the beads and help twist them on the wire while I made the wire into a spiral. This tree is a wonderful reminder of a meaningful Thanksgiving celebration!!

About Me

My photo
Antonia Hansen has been making both fine art and crafts all her life. She grew up in a blue collar family that loved to craft. She came from a long line of crocheters dating back to her Great Grandmother. She was exposed to fine art by her Dad's mom on the other side of the family. As a result she walks the fine line between art and craft. Antonia has a Bachelors degree in Music and BA in Art from San Francisco State University. She has worked in several mediums which include: graphite, ink, water color, acrylic paint, oil paint, charcoal, dry pastels, ceramics, paper-mache, jewelry design, knitting, and crocheting. She began working with wire six years ago. While doodling a lot during meetings at work a co-worker suggested that the drawings really lent themselves to wire. That little comment was just the thing to set fire to an idea and push the wire work into motion.
