I feel like a kindergarten student.I joined a summer challenge on Deryn Mentoc's blog (somethingsubline.typepad.com) using
Mary Hettmansperger's book "Wrap, Stitch, Fold and Rivet
I got Mary's book and was hooked and when I found Deryn's blogsite, I knew that was just the inspriration
I needed.
So here are the first few entries
#1 the spinner necklace/pendant
Mary stacks various elements together loosely so they will move and I love
for elements to have movement and make noises...so this was an interesting
project.
I used an embossing template for the background with 28 gauge copper sheet, some aluminiun from the hardware store cut into two propeller shaped pieces, one long and one shorter and then I had a "mess" laying on my bench which I had messed with one day and wasn't happy with the results...(I had originally textured, cut, folded, forged/hammered)
I added a lampwork bead dangle, and I liked it added to the mix...all in all a fun project and I wore it the day after I made it and a lady stopped me and asked about it...never had anyone do that before.
