Studs


I couldn't help but want to make jewellery from the little beaded discs, I don't know if jewellery can be called cute but I think that's how they look, cute.

More links

I'm not making the whole piece myself, I've had help from Songezo and Sabelo, they are making the links for me. I've prepared the wire and the sizes for the jumprings. Songezo made the big jumprings and Sabelo's worked really hard in soldering the small jumprings onto the big one. They are still not enough though maybe I should have an picture of them on my next blog, showing them hard at work.

Beaded discs






















Here are some discs that I beaded in order to choose the colour of my neck piece, I can't seem to make up my mind about which one I should use though. What do you think?

Drawing


This is the drawing of what I'm busy working on, I know I've posted it before but as I keep looking at it I notice that there are different colour links. I don't think that different colour links will work because it will be too busy.

Choose

Well here are some of my links but I can't seem to make up my mind about how to like them up. The one way allows me to have less jumprings but the problem is that there is so much negative spaces between the links and the other one has small spaces but it will require to have a lot of links in order to cover most of the chest. What do you think?

Reflection

As I have been doing these test pieces I find that there are a lot of questions that come up that relate to the next step. Apart of me feels like other people questions can help you make to the next step and others can set you back a couple of steps. As mush as I would love to say that I'm making jewellery that pleases me, I also like to hear what other people think or how they can suggest things. It is very hard to hear some peoples opinion at the moment because I feel as feel the piece hasn't even been made yet but on the other hand I don't want to make this neck piece that has over 100 links only to find out that its just not good enough. Then the other thing is, who is to say that its not good enough?

Last test piece

I think that this is the last test piece or links that I'm making for this neck piece, I think I've done a lot of test I have to start putting the plan into action.
