Tusen takk for gode tips, er den mye vanskeligere å lage større?

[@SpiralCraftsandWorkshops]

Hello @banglarsen81, the process of making the ball should be ok to make larger balls, but as sculptures grow you need to consider weight. If I was making much larger balls than the ones shown, then I would change from a 13mm hole chicken wire to a smaller hole chicken wire. This will give you more wire per square centimeter and help support the extra weight. If you try a bigger version, I'd love to see a photo of the results! Hope that helps, Sandy@Spiral Hello @banglarsen81, prosessen med å lage ballen bør være ok for å lage større baller, men når skulpturene vokser må du vurdere vekten. Hvis jeg skulle lage mye større kuler enn de som er vist, ville jeg byttet fra en 13 mm hullsnett til en hønsenetting med mindre hull. Dette vil gi deg mer ledning per kvadratcentimeter og bidra til å støtte den ekstra vekten. Hvis du prøver en større versjon, vil jeg gjerne se et bilde av resultatene! Håper det hjelper, Sandy@Spiral

Hello:) How do you make the math? I want to make a bigger piece (the head of a sheep) but I am unsure of how to make the measurments. Thank you!

[@SpiralCraftsandWorkshops]

@daisyrapp4602 apologies, your message slipped through the net and I've only just seen this. However, to answer the question, I tend to use percentages. So if I know my current measurements but I want it bigger, I multiply everything by, say, 50%. This method is not perfect by any means so I'll often either draw the new dimensions out or even cut out card and make a (lite) paper version first. I'll often make a maquette with a single layer of chicken wire for occasions where the actual sculpture is "expensive" to make (either in time or materials). The more expensive the final sculpture is the more mini/full size test runs I'll do (because that's cheaper than getting the real sculpture wrong). Hope that helps! Sandy@Spiral
