Tips on Adding Wire
If you are already an experienced wire worker, you will know how to add wire to a frame and by crisscrossing an open space, fill it with strung beads.
The circle in the sun frame is a perfect open space to fill. You could also cut felt and sew it so it appears suspended in the circle, or evenly attached.
