Creating the Body

The completed wire frame

After two days of work, I finished wrapping the frame with fence. I started to integrate a few old curtain rods that I found in a corner of the basement. They're strong, they're stiff, and with a pair of pliars you can bend them into any shape that you might need, like the curves of an elephant's head.

I also realized that the elephant's body was starting to lean to the right, because the frame was sagging and twisting. I added some straight curtain rod cross supports inside the frame by climbing into it, pulling the frame into the shape it should have been, and duct taping like crazy. If you look closely, you can seem them going from the bottom left to the top right.
