Skelly 1

There’s been one resin man I’ve been working on for quite some time.  I got the idea that it might be cool to create one that had a skeleton entirely made of copper wire.  I started with the legs, which were easy enough, but when I got to the pelvis, the whole thing fell apart.  How do you make something, which is essentially a plate-form, from wire? 

I then decided to “expand my palette,” and use, well, whatever I could get my hands on.

His eyes are LED lights, his spine is a spring (Tigger!!).  The “ribs” are woven into the spring, creating a very cool vertebrae-type effect.  The skull is wire mesh; I’ve never been very happy with the way it turned out, and I’m working on changing it to copper plate (hopefully).
