Copper wire’s pretty good for things like that, its bendy but strong.

A sculpture with one side a person with barbie perfect proportions and then the other side a person with real proportions and real skins and real emotions on their face!

whenever i use wire i use steal wire. I don’t know its pros and cons compared to copper. You might want to get a power drill, you loop a strand of wire, secure one end in the drill, secure the other end and twist it to build a stronger strand. You also might want to keep in mind you can get all sorts of nifty effects by actually hammering the wire into shapes. I’d research wire sculpture if you want to do it, there’s got to be a book on techniques and there are endless images on the internet.
