The following harness wireworks I built for the 1996 Ball. The harnesses averaged about 6 feet wide and 7 feet tall, and weighed about 40 plus pounds except for the co-captain whose harness weighed in at only 9 pounds! Construction of the wirework took about 2 1/2 months of 8 hour days. The applications you see on these harnesses were built and placed there by a group of very talented ladies in the club. All work is done internally. There is nothing farmed out like in some clubs. The ladies doing this are all volunteers and develop and pass on their talents to new ladies in the club. All in all a neat way of doing things.
 | This was the Captain of the 1996 Ball, her harness was the largest, and the stars were lighted. Nancy and I built this harness completly. | ||
 | This was the Co-Captain. Her harness was the smallest at 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide and weighing 9 pounds. Nancy and I built this harness completly. |
