Hope you’ll save some money and make some cool art with recycled aluminum wire! It might not be available in your area but it’s worth looking into!

Thank you for sharing this video. I am going to make an armature but not for clay. I will use wool felt. Happy holidays!!

Muito suas explicações, gostei muito.

i don't understand... shouldn't an armature, at the end, be rooted in(to) something... so that the figure is straightup and you can start putting clay on it while it stays straight ?
I've never done this : )

Thanks for this. I am using toothpicks not clay for our animations. (see my channel) The steel wire kept breaking on the hands. I hear aluminum is much better. I worked with chicken wire too. That seems to bend well too.

what do i do if the person i am sculpting is short, like 5ft and how would it differ from someone that is 6 ft. How do i take ft to the cranium scale. It has been the main thing stopping me
