tight.
11.Finished view.

Wow, those are awesome. Is the larger scorpion (pictured in green) made pretty much the same way, but with more/longer wires?

Thank you, I believe she used the same amount, but used more length on the 4 wires making the tails and claws. She also used a wire similiar to the flat twist tie wires covered in a flat plastic used to seal bread bags with.

Exist some books about wire art, or some web sites with patterns.

To my knowledge there is nothing out there yet about this particular style of wire twisted art.

Here is the first post I have seen since I made the video.
It looks like the person who made it is in Sweden.
As far as I know, this is the first "non-paper folder" to try it!
