Heather, that is the most freakin' awesome thing! I have no talent for that sort of thing...I think I lack the patience! I have done some wire wrapping to great results but I don't do it often enough to attempt a key. A skeleton key! I am squealing!
I have some of Matthew Nix' work and it is really whimsical. Check out his tutorials here:
