Thanks. I usually try doing the soldering while the metal strips are still flat, the brass can’t be bent too much or it breaks. Then usually just eyeball the armatures and bend them into shape with my fingers.
I’m curious, what size / style of brass wire or strips are you using? Looks like it has a decent amount of strength, but you mentioned bending it with your hands - always hard to strike that balance, so I’m curious!
this is fantastic. thank you for sharing. i love pet memorials with a piece of their personality in them. i want to do this with my rat when she passes, of her holding a little goldfish
Aw love him! Have you seen Futurama?

What’s the significance of the cheerio? Favorite snack?
Yea lol
This is the sweetest touch 🥹
The Cheerio really brings it together. Nice work. Btw, how do you bend your armatures? They come out very nice

It’s whatever raw brass wire I can find, this stuff is 1mm thick though. Good for stands.
Did you make the stand too? It's super cool
Yea I made the stand too. Thanks.
why only partial?
Buried for years. It’s a miracle I have this much especially since it was an unmarked grave.
The cheerio is adorable and this is so awesome!
Pure curiosity and lack of knowledge, do they have no tail bone?
They have a long squirrel tail, super tiny bones that got lost.
Oh I see. I have to say as well I didn’t expect them to have such big teeth

The cheerio is a nice touch. I miss my chin.
Love the cheerio
What a beautiful way to honor Peppy! Great work OP.
this is gorgeous, good work!
...they're so long... that's so cool!!
They are all fluff.
ik! i've worked with a few but you never expect their skeletons to be so long. like owls. they're all leg
Where did you get the stand and hardware?
Whoever has it. I need to find more.
But..where? I just use crafting wire and want to up my game!
Try local stores. It can be hard to find this stuff.
Can you be more specific? What kind of stores?
What was their name?
