Create a sculpture with wire, and cover with sculptamold!

Steps

• Step 1
  With dark annealed wire, form the base and main support of the sculpture.
• Step 2
  To create the base, thoroughly mix together 2 cups Sculptamold with 1 cup of water and 3 TBSP of powdered tempera paint. (It is best to mix small batches at a time, because the Sculptamold sets in around 15-20 minutes.).
• Step 3
  Use the Sculptamold mixture to cover the wire base, leave the support wires uncovered. With modeling tools, sculpt desired texture into the Sculptamold.
• Step 4
  After the Sculptamold sets up on the base, continue to form the wire sculpture.
• Step 5
  Create additional Sculptamold and powdered tempera mixtures in desired colors and apply to sculpture to complete.
• Optional Tip 1
  Use your imagination for additional sculpture ideas.
