Making the fairy spin!
This is how I finished this fairy sculpture to make her spin freely...
Step one: make a sculpture
Step two: select a place on your sculpture to be the pivot point. In this case, I wanted her to look like she is floating above the base, so I used her right foot as the place to pivot from.
Step 3: find the material you'll be using as a base. Here I used a piece of driftwood, cleaned and sealed with polyurethane, which I epoxy glued to a finished marble base.
Step 4: select a piece of metal tubing that just fits your pivot wire.
Step 5: drill a hole slightly larger than the piece of tubing. In order for the sculpture to spin freely, this hole must be drilled perfectly vertical.
Step 6: set the tubing in the hole with epoxy glue and trim the excess tubing from the top of the base material. Let dry before installing the sculpture into the base.
That's it! If you have any questions about this or other processes, please let me know in the comments!
Thanks!
