Here are three variations on a popsicle stick cage, the top is a cage built to hold one person. The tip for building this is to build the base first and then when you know the figure can fit then you can build the standing supports that go around the bottom of the base which will hold the vertical pieces. Once the three sides are put in you can attach the door with one or two pieces of wire so you have a functional door.The second is just a larger variation on the first for a cage that can either hold a group of people or some kind of crazy animal.
The Third is the most dangerous kind of cage, "the Barbecue Skewer" cage, yes they look really cool when painted but you do have to be careful, those points are sharp! Either trim them down or don't run around while you're carrying your cage. The corner pieces on this buils are the same as the pieces described in the "Popsicle Stick House" tutorial, which you can see if you scroll down on this blog. You can also see another cage that I've built that is more industrial "Jurassic Park Style".

Going through the last thirty pages of Book One today hope to have it finished in two days, I'm a little behind but I'll tell you why in the next post and don't forget to check out my other blog "the mad craft shoppe" (or follow on fb at Andrew Shay Hahn "the mad craft shoppe" page) to see my paintings and where they are hanging in Toronto.
Happy Monday,
