Playing Around

Thursday, November 29, 2012

For the last few days I've been making a wearable assemblage. I'm a collector of any cool thing I find on walks: bones, buttons, fuses, etc. I had several interesting pieces that I put together with some clay beads, lava stone, and red cord. I made all of the brass jump rings and made the little gut covered "wire beads". There's a vintage photo of my grannie and a jaw...what more could I want in a necklace. I'll be honest...this took forever to make. The design process alone was time consuming. However, I learned a lot, did a ton of wire wrapping, and now I'll get to see my little found objects put to good use.
