Continuous wire is when you use one wire to make the shape of something. You had to make it look 3d. You could use more than one wire if you needed to. I chose to do flowers for my continuous wire project. One flower was more tight, while the other one was more loose. I spray painted them to show the difference between the two. They were different types of flowers and made differently. The base isn't painted because it's a nice contrast between the painted flowers and just a wooden base. We had to take pictures of our progress. It was hard to only use one wire.
