How to Make a Wire Person Armature: An In-Depth Tutorial by Sarafina Fiber Art

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In her first person armature tutorial, Sara Renzulli showed you how to use aluminum wire to build an armature for figure sculptures. In this more in-depth tutorial, Sara will show how to use a ratio of head to body size to keep your sculpture in proper proportions. She will also demonstrate how to bend the head of the armature so that wrapping and sculpting the face is easy as pie. Okay, not exactly easy as pie...but this approach to creating faces is revolutionary. It will make your felting-a-face experience much more enjoyable and successful.

    Sara shares her insights as a wonderful artist and teacher. Having never had an art class, I appreciate learning foundational and basic art concepts from her. AND she is just plain fun...as is Milo!

    fantastic, I have watched many tutorials on this but this is by far the clearest one yet. I do not do needle felting I work with polymer clay but this is transferable. Thank you for the fantastic tutorial.

    Hi Sara! Great video in every regard! This armature is so simple, wish I could use it for life-size figures! I like how you modified the head structure, too. I can see how much better it would be to fill out the head. By the way, I finished my Meri doll. She's not perfect, but she really did come out quite good! Got some photos, just need to get a CD to load them up. Send them soon.
