Am submitting my twist tie sculpture. Various figures: dog, cat, horse, llama, fish, palm tree on an island surrounded by water, tree bare of leaves, evergreen tree, shrub and a space man. Am currently working on a bird. I use only recycled twist ties, those things you use to close a bag of bread. I ask everyone I know not to throw them out but to save them for me. Occassionally I get lucky and recieve a kitchen drawer full. It takes hundreds of them to make most these figures and many hours. They range from a couple inches to about a foot tall.
