Hot Glue Gun Life Size Legs

Through the photos below it shows you the journey I took making my glue legs.
I used the hot glue gun and many glue sticks produce the following pieces.

After producing the piece of art, I needed to remove it from the mannequin. I began by using the red life and my fingers as they were the tools I could find, but as tutors are very helpful and weary of whats going on around them. An old tutor from a past year was walking through our room and saw me struggling he then went out of his way to get me a chizzle so I wasn't struggling which I was very grateful of.


I firstly used vasaline to cover the whole of the mannequin legs so they were protected when I start glueing them, also makes it easier at a later date to remove the glue from the legs.

These are  the legs so far but as there legs they are much harder to glue and there are many acquired areas to glue and areas which are hard to get to. But so far so good.

This is a step in the journey to the final product, and if i say so myself its not gone too badly as of yet. Also i needed tutors to order me some new glue sticks for me to finish them off.











 
These are images of the piece finished ready to hang. From here on down,...
