hotsell Here is an amazing wire basket, it's collapsable - when flat it has the shape of a flower. It opens and closes fairly easily, but it isn't floppy. It needs some adjusting to the copper wires that hold the two sides of the ball together as one as they sometimes slip off to the side and they need to be centered for it to change shape. But once its in a shape it stays. It can make so many varieties of shapes - almost like a toy, you can maneuver it in and around from a ball to any sculptural form.
Probably originally created to be an egg basket. In a ball or sphere form its measures approximately 8 inches in diameter.
I made this industrial wire form into a pendant light. I simply attached the electrical part with wire. It has an led lightbulb in it for the first photo and an Edison bulb in the later photo - the wire casts awesome shadows.
If you don't want the electrical part I can easily remove it.
