A Guide to a way to create your own little model animals
Joan Bolton King
It is not difficult to make a simple standing animal out of copper sheet using basic tools, with the underside left hollow and the legs only half rounded. However, the practical designs for this method, which used neither solder nor glue, are limited. Hopefully this article, based on the results of my recent experiments, will show you how to overcome some to the problems and produce ambitious pieces. The original idea came from ancient Celtic ornaments and the enamelled cow illustrates my basic method.
