I'm wondering how the tale structure comes out? it's also wire? how to add it with the main structure?

[@richmanshosho]

Are there any tips on not breaking the wire while
working with it.

[@elinjohansson8931]

Hello Sara! You mention that you use 22 gauge Cloth Covered Floral Wires. What's cloth and where can I buy these? Can you link a website or a page. I live in Sweden and can't find them here. Thanks

Are your reference charts for sale somewhere?

Ahhhh, still having trouble with animal armatures! I try and follow what Sara is doing but the front legs always end up too short! I try and count how many twists she does and I still come out with not enough length for the front legs.

Sara, I don't think Milo remembered that left arm surgery ;)

Thanks for the video! I was expecting you to say you were covering the armature issues in, not "one very entertaining video," but...wait for it...one "felt" swoop. (Sorry - had to.)
