So I'm making a new deadmau5 head for dragon*con this year and I've made a few before. The only thing I've never been able to perfect is the grill/mesh material that's used for the mouth. I know he uses construction fabric for his old ones [see below]
DEADMAU5 head with the mesh I was...
Yea, and the problem is the wire is made from aluminum and likes to snap back to it's original flat form. Plus, the globe I'm pulling it over isn't very strong.
It's pronounced dead mouse. He's a Canadian DJ. While in college he found a dead mouse inside his computer and used the incident for his ICQ screen name. 'deadmouse' was too long hence the leet spelling of 'Deadmau5'
Here's a few more images of some of his 'heads'
The globe...
So I've been trying to finish my Deadmau5 head and have pretty much all of it down, except....
I can't seem to get the wire that I have to bend both ways to form the curve that I need. [see link]

Can someone PLEASE give me any advice...
Update....
-Got my giant rodent ball and wrapped it in fiberglass for support and strength.
-Sanded down all of the bumps and such.
-Cut down the hardhat for height issues.
-Got all of my LED's and 'eyes' in the mail.
-Cut out the eye and mouth holes.
