I have decided to make a piece entirely out of scrap metal in order to have absolutely no control over what it looks like, making it irregular, and then shrink wrapping it to make it all smooth... but hopefully not getting rid of its original look!
Its in progress, I worked on it a lot today, a hot glue gun has proved the best method of fixing the pieces onto the chicken wire frame, after having tried spot welding and soldering!
There will be pictures soon.... once I've actually taken some!
These are my tests which I think went really well, I'd never used brass before so it was very interesting to see how it reacted to my violent methods... I intend to burnish most of the pieces that I attach (because its fun) and now I've seen how brass crinkles under the pressure there will lots of that involved (if it doesn't look to busy).
