My favorite part of this artwork was the roof. It was stable and looked pretty good. I don't like my corner wires. They got pretty bent as I added more wires to it. If I were to create this project again, I wouldn't have made my horizontal wires so tight. If they wouldn't have been so tight, my project would not have made it bent.

I did this bird cage because I like birds. My favorite part of it is the sign that reads Bob's place.This project surprised me on how hard it was to make.

My favorite part of this work was forming the shapes of the flowers and pot. My least favorite part was interlocking the wire together. I decided to do the flowers in a pot because it reminds me of spring and summer. I was surprised how hard it was to form the wire into the shape I wanted. Overall, I did not enjoy this project very much but I was pleased with the outcome.
