typewriter sculpture #1

one of the assignments for sculpture class was to take something apart and make it into something else. I chose an old Underwood typewriter to take apart.  There are MILLIONS of pieces in a typewriter! And when the typewriter is from the 30's the screws are not easy to get out.

 I used the frame work of the typewriter as the substrate on this piece adding buts and pieces with wire as I went along.

 Here is the back of the piece which is just as lovely as the front.
