So I began another sphere and a partial start of another one but I'm still fairly unsure of what I'm going to use as a light source. Originally, I wanted to use light bulbs hanging from individual cords but that's a little too pricey for the project so I'm either thinking tea lights or fairly lights in glass jars. I'm leaning more towards the latter because it captures that same aesthetic and is much more affordable than the light bulbs. I'm also still trying to work out the details of the mirror fragments dangling around the globes themselves and whether or not I want to have broken, shattered pieces or more finished and refined ones. I'm going to see what is available online and if I can envision them on my sculpture, then I'll probably go with them but we will see...

Day 1 of official sculpture making! Not gonna lie, I didn't really have a super clear or defined idea of how I wanted to make everything but once I decided to go with the wire and make some sort of form, I began to cement an idea of how I wanted to go about this. This is the first of my (hopefully) many "cages" that will hold a light source of some kind- it is only partially complete because I still need to build up the wire further and figure out how the light will be situated inside- but as of right now, I'm pretty content with how it's turning out!
