Wire Fairy 16″ Craft Kit

This kit provides all the materials necessary (see contents below) for a wire sculpture enthusiast to follow the book and make their very own wire sculpture (which will be approximately 16 inches tall once completed).

The fairy in the photos was made by Robin Wight using this exact kit to give you an idea of what you could sculpt. You can sculpt your fairy into any pose that you wish using this kit. There is NOT a different kit for each fairy pose.

It is also the natural progression from our Wire fairy 8″ starter kit. If you have already purchased one of our Starter Kits and fancy having a go at a larger (twice the size of the starter kit fairy) and more detailed wire sculpture then this is the kit!

Full Instructions Included

Robin of FantasyWire has always shared how he makes his fairies. He has now written a comprehensive instruction book “The Art of FantasyWire” which is designed to share the secrets behind the creation of the FantasyWire fairies. This kit has been designed to complement the book ‘The Art of FantasyWire (which is included).

The book will walk you through;

• The properties and constraints of working with wire
• The factors that influence a good design in art
• How to make a wire skeleton/frame to support your sculpture (not that you will need to make a skeleton this time as one is included in this kit for you)
• Basic wire handling techniques
• Guidelines and insights to help you control proportions (the hardest part of any art)
• What to do when you start to panic if you think its all going wrong!

The pre-formed skeleton included within this kit is already proportioned and anatomically set for you. Just simply adapt it to whichever fairy pose you wish to sculpt and apply the wire.

The four types of wire included are to;

• Build out the figure
• Add detail and skin
• Finish by adding the wings and hair

All of these steps are walked through in the instructions (see photos for a glimpse).

We have been sure to include more than enough wire within this kit so please don’t worry about running out or feel you need to use it all. The tools your need to create your sculpture are also included with the kit. If you have these tools already and feel as though you don’t need them, or you have already purchased this kit before and just want the skeleton, wire and book then you can select to not included them with the options above.
