OK, so the sun is not all that obvious, but you get the idea.
It started with the moon. Actually, I was going for a heart shape pendant, but the wire wasn't long enough, so I stopped short half way and turned it into a crescent moon. Then it sat on my desk for a long time, until last night when I read on the net something about the brightest star of this month hangs just off the moon. Well, there it is! And yes, it'll hold your eyeglasses nicely.
This is a piece done with only wire bending. Now I look at the final result, the connectors seem to add too much distraction to the simple idea. As a prototype, it'll do. But I'll try this again, with fused silver rings.
Time to get some butane refill for the micro torch...
It may looks more interesting if you put some pretty beads.
ReplyDeleteI thought about that, but I wanted this to be a short and simple necklace, only 16", so the moon sits right on collar bone. Adding beads seems to over complicate things. Trying my best to keep it simple.
