Explaining 3D to Laymen 2003-11-17 - By John Gaubatz
Back
Chicken wire is wire that is braided into 1/2 to 3/4 octagonal or hexagonal
shapes, which is used in the construction of fences. Its basic use is to
contain chickens or other fowl. It is not strong enough to contain larger
animals, as it is rather flexible and feeble. But it can be adapted to
modeling because it is flexible and retains shapes with out too much effort
in forming it. I have used it on projects in geology classes in high school.

What's chickenwire?
:o)
I just had to take it the other way. :)
