[english_latina]

i want to make the image of a female body using wire mesh.

it will be able to stand. how do i use the wire mesh to form these shapes? i have never used it before but it looks very effective in photos. can you help?

also where would i get a lot of wire mesh from? i am based in portsmouth, england.

Try getting your mesh from an Art shop, or maybe even a garden centre. You will need some extra wire (you can buy this on a reel) to join ends together - the wire used for joining is generally quite thin. If you can, it would be a good idea to make a mould of a female manakin which you can remove then build your wire mesh onto it.
Good luck...i've always hated doing sculptures!
