Finally managed to get the salted bones hanging on clear fishing line instead of the metal wire. Could not believe how scared I was when I started cutting the wire, praying that the fishing line held. I don't know what it is, might be the fishing line, but the ribs and pelvis move a lot more. I was thinking about adding some branches to create the feeling of veins and to help hide the metal but I'm worried that if I add any more weight to the lines they will snap, I have ten pound line but I'm still worried.
I also started another piece, for this piece I made some bone like structures out of clay and hung them using metal wire and the same fishing line. I mixed real bones with the ones I made from clay and did some beadwork. Sadly my idea to have them hang horizontally isn't working for me. My next trick will be to attach these clay bones and real ones to rebar and have another wall hanging.
Here is a close up of two clay bones and two real bones.
