Adornment
That's fancy term for Jewelry & Clothes...
To be fair, adornment encompasses a great many decorative media, though in this context it refers to adornment of the human body. (After all buildings and cakes and even poodles can be adorned.) Oddly enough I seldom wear jewelry, or embroidery; in fact, most of my clothes come from garage sales and K-mart. I'm always getting dirt, or food, or boiling glass, or acid, or baby barf---*something* that really doesn't make dressing up worthwhile. I'd much rather make the stuff than wear it.
Lucky for me not everyone feels that way.
Periodic forays into my sometimes idiosyncratic approach to wirewrapping over the last 15 or so years; includes french-beaded flowers. (Directory rearranged, apr08.)

Currently the Metal directory has only pmc posts publicly avaliable. This necklace also has some metal work, more conventionally made but remarkably pmc-ish in its texture. See also the Wirewrapping Gallery, below. 21jan06
