Making my spinal structure

 For my spinal structure i have used mod rock to make each individual piece of vertebrae. I have used leather for the segments in between and wire to fix the structure together. I have also used the wire to show how surgical staples are used within bone.

This was the starting point for my idea, i focused on the cortical rim and the cancellous for the shape of each segment. I used mod rock and tissue to make the 3D shapes more rounded, unfortunately as it dried they became flatter. They also became very heavy so if i was to do it again i would try using different material and maybe even making them out of fabric.
