Drawing & Sculpting with Hot Glue

I've been experimenting for the last few weeks with just hot glue and wax paper. I wanted to see if I could build with just hot glue by creating stencils that I could glue together to create sturdier structures. 

So far it's remained an experiment and is just purely for fun. I've yet to figure out how I can use this method to make something substantial. 

Here are some images of the stencils and what I've created: 

I enjoy the shadows cast by the structures much more than the structures themselves. 

A fun experiment that I am enjoying. The only big issue is that I wish I could control the amount of glue coming out of the gun as it's difficult to create strong sturdy strands or avoid the typical gloopiness of hot glue. 

A video I made below of the process with some cheesy music:

Well nothing more to really share about this, aside from it's a fun experiment so if you have a hot glue gun, some wax paper and some time then this is a good way to explore sculpting and drawing at the same time.
