Entry #2

I strive to create a jewelry set by utilizing wire-wrap techniques that require no heat.                 
Presentations make me super nervous even if it's towards a small crowd. However, since we have the option to record our Pitch, I feel pretty confident about the presentation. During presentations my anxiety level typically rises because of all the pressure of it being graded. Prerecording the Pitch has many benefits, it prevents mishaps, and I get multiple chances to rerecord my mistakes. My concerns about the presentation is how to use my time efficiently while stating everything required. It's pretty difficult to manage the time given and trying to explain the project all at once. After all, the time limit requirement is 30-45 seconds. The most important things that I need to talk about would be: why I chose wire wrapping, what I'm going to achieve from this project, and how I will use the information that I obtained from these websites to help guide me through this.

Entry #1

When this project was assigned to our class, I was so confident that I could find a topic that interests me. However, as time progressed, my confidence in this project started to deteriorate. I honestly had no clue what to do. But, when I spoke to my mom about this, she recommended me to step out of my comfort zone and do wire wrapping. At first, I was a little iffy to attempt this since I'm not the crafty type, but after further analysis I decided to try something new. The 20% Project is made for us to find ourselves in life and experience new things and wire wrapping is something new for me. If this project turns out successful, I can possibly be able to sell my handmade jewelry for other people to wear.

When I searched "wire wrapping" this was the link that popped up. As I browsed through the site, I learned that wire wrapping is not easy as I thought it was. It consists of using alot of different materials, but I want to challenge myself so this website is super helpful in doing so.

I found this site by simply searching "wire wrapping" and this was the second link that popped up. The website shows creations made by others and this gives me a good idea of how I should make my jewelry.
