Have you thought of using UV LEDs and clear florescent marbles?

I've wanted to make a rolling ball sculpture for over 10 years but cannot find info on the wire bending technique. I bought some stainless steel 308L rod. I started my 1st curve and it just looked choppy. How did you learn this ?

[@WeR1sculptures]

Internet is full of usefull information but you have to dig deep or just ask somebody that knows :) I did the first option. There are many ways to make a curve. Bending on a tube or some other circular object, ring roller, bending by hand or use of wire bending tools - which suits you best, depending on the situation. Good luck and have fun with your project.
