Giraffe Wire Sculpture

The very first project made in ceramics was a wire sculpture, i chose to make a giraffe. It took a while to twist the wires around each other. For the legs i had to fold the wire in half to give the effect of the feet, then twisted the wire, one i made the legs long enough i had to cut the wire to be able to twist the wire once again, around the body.  I repeated the same process to make the neck and head but with longer wires. Then i used about three layers of paper mache, let it dry then painted the pattern of a giraffe on it to finish it off.
