Recently, I came up with one of those fun but not realistic ideas. I don’t know if you have ever done that, but it happens to me occasionally. Usually, the reason these types of ideas are not realistic is simply because of time and money. This most recent idea was to turn the symbol from The Story into earrings! I have made handmade jewelry in the past and used to make my own earrings. But it’s been a while, so I just started experimenting. Whether I make it or someone else does, I do want to have jewelry available in the future, but I will need to do some more research and practice before I can make it happen. As for this attempt, it was…well, let’s just say it wasn’t selling material.
My first attempt was easy to make but it didn't look right to me. With the little wrapped wire spots, it looked sloppy. However, I did have an idea to use different material and tie the two pieces together with something like leather and make those points more obvious and part of the art. Maybe there is something there I can work with, but for now, this version wasn’t quite there.
My second attempt was a little more of a challenge, but it looked too messy to me. The wire I used to wrap the other wire and hold the two pieces together was too thin, and I need a lot more practice in wire wrapping before I can make it look good. However, there may be a way I could do something similar to this once I have practiced. But I think I need to learn about wire wrapping techniques first.
My last attempt was hilarious, and you should have seen me trying to wrap all this wire together. First, I tried two pieces, then I tried doing it all with one piece of wire. In short, it was fun! But the result was not what I was hoping. Again, I will need to look into some other techniques, learn more, and practice practice practice!
What did you think of these attempts at turning this shape into jewelry? Would you like to see some things from The Story, such as jewelry and T-shirts, available to purchase? Let me know in the comments!
