Default seeking malleable non-ferrous wire

Hi all
I'm after short lengths (a few metres) of non-ferrous, malleable
wire - say 2-3mm dia. Copper would be too weak, piano wire not
malleable enough (as well as rusting). Have you seen those 'street
traders' that bend some sort of alloy wire into people's names,
ornamental patterns, and so on? That sort of stuff. Any idea where to
get hold of some from?


Alec Tiranti. They stock sculptors' supply. The link is for aluminium
armature wire. They also do mail order.
