Testing the material

In order to be able to take off the made structure I need a base to keep the shape.

 I used chicken wire and twine to shape the form.

 By covering the metal in a plaster/filler type substance mixed with pva and dye I could hold the shape I was looking for.

 When the object dries fully (8-10 hours) I can lift the shape off the metal frame to reveal a hollow object.
