Wire hand experiment

Wire hand experiment

This experiment was looking at how you can manipulate wire. 

 

Equipment:

1. Wire
2. Thread
3. Wire cutters

Method:

1. First you need to collect your materials. Next using the wire bend it to produce the basic outline of a hand. Then continue to wrap the wire around the outline. Use the wire cutters to bend the wire to stop it from falling apart.
2. Keep wrapping the wire to make the structure sturdy. 
3. Next take some thread and begin to wrap it around the wire like the lines on the palm of your hands. Its similar to what i did to my pin hand. use the thread to bring the wire into proportion. It also stabilises the piece.
4. Once you're finished tidy up your area.
