Wire project

For this assignment we had to make a 3d object out of metal wire. I chose the spray bottle because it had a straightforward design, but would also allow me to be creative in the execution of the spray top.




I decided to start with the base of the bottle and work my way up to the most complicated part of the bottle. 


Then i constructed the body, using four straight wires going around the base and connecting to the top ring i created. The hardest part was figuring out how to attach the wires without bending them too much. The more the wires bent, the more my object lost its intended shape. 

(Unfortunately, I lost my phone at this point and got a new one, so I am missing a few pictures of my process.)

After i had the body assembled, I began work on the sprayer/top of the spray bottle. This was the most frustrating part of the process. Because the top of the spray bottle was so top-heavy, I had to use a smaller gauge wire to even out the weight. It ended up working out really well.
