Very clever!
Annie and I used to go to a place called 'Crumpets Farm' in Dorset for various craft workshops, and there had been a wire workshop and one of the pieces of art was a woman, sculpted totally from chicken wire, reclining in an old tin bath - it was amazing.

I think everyone has seen this but its a pic of my very first one , also my favorite one lol Im actually working on a monster size one now its taken forever, Charlie (my granddaughter) found him the other day and she freaked right out so i had to put him away while she's here. He's way bigger than her haha Attachments:

Wow.... I love this. I have been trying to think of some sculpture oriole for my school. This would be great. How difficult is it to use? Is all of your lovely character 'stiff'?

Shelley there very light weight and very stiff lol Oh i didnt mean a monster sorry i meant a monster sized one lol She was still scared stiff anyway lol I think this would be great for school, you make up a simple wire amatuer with electricians wire and wrap in foil then material. I,m working on a tutorial now but i have to actually have my teachers license first ? Its not legal but they prefer you to become an instructor before you start on your own, so i'm just doing the right thing and that will be at the end of next month . I could do it now without being an instructor for myself is no problems but writing up tutorials and teaching is something else and i really do want to teach it and be able to purchase products at wholesale ! so im happy to wait and get my ticket Confusing, sorry xo
