Creating the frame

Creating the frame was harder than I thought it would first be. I was planing on making most of the frame out of single piece of wire, but I couldn't find any wire that was long enough. I then tried bending the wires around each other so that they would stay together, but I couldn't bend the wire enough for this to work. I then thought of using fishing line to bind the wires together. This worked ok but wasn't ideal because it was quite flimsy.

At this time I also tested out using the fishing line to hang my pieces of acrylic, but it turned out that the acrylic was too light and the fishing line curved. I realized I would have to use string, so chose a simple white string. I then also tried binding the wire with the white string, which held together better than the fishing line but was still quite flimsy. But because I thought the way the string on the frame and the string holding the pieces of acrylic matched looked good, I chose to stick with this.
