A Little Memory Wire

Snow Globe Santa is almost done.  I am adding the memory wire to his beard.  Janet  suggests sititching it through tracing paper, but I did not like that. 
I have to put Softly Feathered aside so I can work on Spring Splendor.  I love both pieces, but Spring Splendor has me nervous.  Must be all those silks....Maybe I will have a photo of it tomorrow.

I am having a silly moment, what is a memory wire for?

Memory wire is put out by DMC and is stiff. It is the swirls in Santa's beard. I couched it down with Kreinik #4. I think it could be used to add "steam" to a coffe cup,dimension to flowers, hair on people. But I am a canvas person. Not sure how it could be applied to linen...
