We were asked to do a wireframe from wire based on things that can be commercialized such as food beverages, clothes, accessories, transportation, packaging, and etc. Next, use paperclay, clay, plaster or newspaper to cover it entirely.
The thing I chose was cone ice cream. Below is the sketch of wireframe on cone ice cream.

Figure 1: Sketch of modular system on cone ice cream
Materials: thin metal wire, hot glue gun, scissors, plier, clay
Technique: Model making technique

Figure 8: Putting the clay
Figure 9: More clays
Due to heavy clay on thin metal wire, whole artwork collapsed, and first experimentation is failed.
So I replaced the thin with a thick metal wire. Instead of using hot glue gun, I used thin wire to secure the thick metal wire. I put the wire alternatively with column and height instead of doing all vertical first and then horizontal.

It took so long to finish the wireframe, to tie them, and then use clay to cover it. But I really glad second experiment worked, and finally done with the artwork..If I had chance, i would like to know how to make stand from wire to make it stand upright.
