Armature wire done = 2 hours. I drilled a hole into wood base, and scaled my character to get appropriate proportions of his size from my reference design. Then I took measurements of the wire, began folding at my tick marks, and wrapped it accordingly (with drill method & manually by hand). At first attempt, my wire seemed a bit flimsy, (being that it was only a 1/16" size, so later on, I had to double- triple the armature wrapping for a much stiffer hold.
Week 4: Day 3 - Span of 3 to 4 hours in class.
When I finally got a good foundation of the wire cemented into the putty, it stayed. I then began gluing down the green floral wire onto the armature, with the ZaxGlue and Spray and sat to dry for 8- mintues. I used aluminum foil for the skull- noggin of my stylized scarecrow. Using sculpey clay, I began applying enough to cover for the basic silhouette of my character. Compared to my original design sketch, I made his head a little smaller on this one to manage the weight of his body language.
