OT (sorta) wireframe ironwork?

Well it's time for phase II of my christmas lights this year, I've finished my controller and some basic planning and got some of the trickier wiring harness peices on the house.... now for the fun part.

I need to find someone that's handy with bending wire or steel rod. Given my recent obsession I'm going to do a reef themed section of the yard and want to light up a couple of clowns to plop over a nifty bush I have here in the yard that I can make an anemone out of. Dont really need anything fancy, just a pair of wire outlines of clownfish with supports running through the middle to strap lights for stripes and eyes to.

Anyone good at this kinda work? Christmas comes fast when one has 160,000 bulbs to hang.

Do you have any pictures of all those christmas lights?

I'll see if I can dig up last years pics, it was mostly winnie the pooh based and not as big (bout 60,000 bulbs). I did have 16 channels of computer control and managed to get sequencing to a few songs but I wasnt happy with it... ran out of time (started after thanksgiving). This year I started early June so hopefully I'm happy with it.
