Hi all, had our usual friday group tutorial this morning. Got to critique other people's work again - always interesting. I was kind of surprised by how much work everyone has done so far. Think I need to look around at other peoples stuff more often and maybe get my work-rate up a bit.

Tried another angle on the wire model theme. By accident I discovered that by winding the lightest wire around a finger, to gauge it's dimensions, that when I removed the wire (I had to rotate it the opposite direction to the way I'd wound it) I ended up with a spring in the shape of the finger. Consequently I made more but my attempt to use the same method to form a hand shape failed as the wire wasn't strong enough over the larger area.

Checked out some scribble wire sculpture by an artist called David Oliveira http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/06/scribbled-wire-sculptures-by-david-oliveira/. Definately want to try this next. Have an image here of his work. I think this style offers more in the way of transparency or suggested space than a 3D wire model sculpture might.

Also tried some 3D modelling using paper instead of wire. The idea I had was to use flattened straws (more flexible) and join them with tape. I still have to try joining heavier wire - possibly with solder, so I'm experimenting with paper for now. It's going o.k.so far, hopefully I'll get more done on Monday. Here's how it look's at the moment.
