Abel's rosary update


1. Three rectangles

2. Pointed "wings"

The smaller pieces were what I was working on today. These are made out of foam, Model Magic and Wire.













Since these pieces are so small I wanted to do them so I could still be able to paint and work them onto the rosary without having to skip out on their smaller details.

I started by tracing them, from the picture above, and placed that over a piece of foam. I poked holes on the corners and like connect the dot drew the lines dot by dot on the foam.






What they looked like after I drew the patterns on the foam.

This is only one layer of foam by the way.










All cut out. I use a very small set of metal scissors that are supposed to be used for cutting a bonsai tree but since I never grew the tree I use them for cutting out small things.










One layer of this thin foam is not enough. So I traced them onto another sheet of foam to make a double layer.











I used hot glue to glue the two layers together. Now these are thick enough to work. I made them doubled because the foam was too thin. The rosary body has three layers of foam.

After this I coated them in Model Magic and now they are drying. I will get more pictures updated soon.
