Rust and stainless steel - in progress

I have started another small sculpture that includes stainless steel wire.

This piece started with a plowshare.

The metal proved too hard to drill so I decided to cut slots into the metal to enable me to attach the bars of stainless steel wire.

I have started to add the stainless steel - but there is quite a way to go yet.
