Sketch Project

Making the "Something Odd" Necklace

The opening reception for my recent art exhibition, “Spark to Sparkle” featured a contest. I asked those who attended to sketch their own jewelry design. The winner is the "Something Odd" necklace designed by Nancy Eggert. You can follow my progress in making the necklace over the next few weeks here.

I will construct one squiggle disk charm to collect information and adjustments. Last week I gathered materials that will be used and planned the design, thinking through the whole design and any possible problems. Following are the steps I completed this week.

Step 1.        Cut out the strips of brass with tin snips.

Step 3: Texture the brass and copper pieces using a rolling milll and brass pattern plates.

Stay tuned for further progress.
