I tried it myself sometimes.. but i always fail. ..and I think, the problem lies with how i do the wire amature, i just can't get it right! >.< so my question was: how do you do the wire amature? do you bend it, burn it together, or you use special products to bend it? I'd like to know cus i have super sculpey, but never can use it because i always fail! hope some of you can help me?? Ps. I don't know if i placed this in the right caragory.. correct me if i didnt xD Thanks, Stardust _________________ My figure photo-gallery on DA:

| I like to use wire, bend it into shape, and use aluminum foil to hold the pieces together and build up bulk. |

| I also like to uses aluminium foil too, unless it's a very small figure. Also, I make my armature out of one piece of wire. This way it won't fall apart while scupting but it is less easy to reposition the wire. Here's a little picture of a wire armature: ![Question about Wire amature IMG_4491_zpse870ef9e](https://2img.net/h/i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w591/A-J_STS/IMG_4491_zpse870ef9e.jpg) I wish you good luck with sculpting and I'm curious to see what you're going to sculpt! ![bounce](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_bounce.gif) _________________ ![Like a Star @ heaven](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/star3.png) Anne-Joke ajs.artistry - Instagram AJs Artistry Shop - Etsy |

| I just use regular, cheap wire from the hardware store which you can bend with pliers. I cut one section for the body and then two for the legs which I then use masking tape to secure together. I bulk up the form with aluminum foil and then start adding clay. This makes a very sturdy skeleton that will stay together. ![Question about Wire amature 14890305619_d08b2c1503_b](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5584/14890305619_d08b2c1503_b.jpg) |

| Nice topic! I usually make similar wire armature as Elephas_Maximus, similar technique. I buy wires for that purpose in florist shop, florist wire is available in few different thicknesses. _________________ Anna Horse and Bird studio - Horse sculptures My model horse collection
