Project 3:  Necklace or Bracelet

Using any of the techniques we’ve covered in this class, create a bracelet or necklace with elements that link together. The elements do not have to be the same. Consider graduating the size of the elements.

Inspiration: Pick a story that is special to you- a book, fairy tale, essay, etc. What does it mean? What are the symbols/images that you take away from reading the story? Work this into your piece- have your piece reflect your feelings about the story. Is it scary? Romantic? Silly?

Requirements:

• Must connect using either jump rings or rivets.
• Must use at least 2 surface textures/finishes/patinas.
• Must have a clasp.

Design Exercise:

Identify 10 words/emotions that you associate with the story. Write these down.

Sketch 5 symbols/images that come to mind with the story.

Sketch 10 concepts for the piece. Integrate imagery and reflect words from above in the drawings.

Designs are due November 4

Finished piece is due beginning of class December 16
