Grinch shooooeee

The next shoe was the plaster shoe which i liked making. I decided to cut out the base of the shoe from styrofoam and then use a wire armature, i like making armatures out of wire a whole lot. so what i did was map out the basic frame of the shoe and i cut various pieces of wire and spent time attaching them to each other. The frame was made of simple half circles and straight wire lines. After that i cut out 3 semi circles from styrofoam that decreased in size and width and mimicked the base of the shoe, this gave it shape and made the frame more sturdy once i attached it to the semi circles. Theeennnn i cut out sheets of that brown pape and plastered it. The fun part was making it textured with paper towels and plaster. then i painted it. It reminds me of the grinch's shoe, and i think its funny.
