What type of wire to use?

[LOTRSWfan]

Hey guys, I am wondering what type of wire I should use for wire framing.

I bought some, but it will not bend at all and it is pretty thin already.

Any help would be awesome! Thanks guys!

I've done a couple of wire frames for clay sculptures, and I used copper wire. It was fairly easy to bend with needlenose pliers, but another advantage that I liked was that you could attach two or more pieces of wire together with solder. I'm no expert, but it worked for me.

That's what I use (copper wire) and it's great. Pliable, but still ridged enough to hold up the clay. I recommend using a thick guage, and a thinner one for wrapping around it so the clay grips better. I use Aluminum foil as well at time to bulk up certain areas, and then wrap that in thin wire to hold it all together. Watch those pointy ends on the wire...they bite. Good luck!
