Entry #4

A challenge that I am facing as of now is trying to find that perfect wire to use. In the picture above, I've included tarnish wire which is one of the many wires that most wire-wrapped jewelry fans use. I'm having some troubles with the wire because the wire is the most important part of the jewelry. The wire holds the beads together as well as holding it onto your neck,ear,finger, wrist, etc. If I don't have the correct wire, than my jewelry can easily crumble into pieces since the wire isn't strong enough to hold them together. Another difficulty involving the wire that I face is making sure I'm using the right amount of wire. I don't want to use too much of it or I'd be wasting it. All in all, my goal is to overcome the challenges that this project has given me by trying to find the most sustainable wire. 

Entry #3

As of right now, these are a few of my sketches that I've made for my project. I hope to see more detailed and complex sketches that I can turn into my own creations. At this point, I am still figuring out what exactly to make and sketch. I  thought that it would be easy to do but it sure isn't. Drawing is difficult itself, and adding my own twist to the designs is even harder. I want my designs to represent who I am as a person so my drawings will take a considerable amount of time. The first necklace is a more complicated one, it consists of a variety of wires with one big stone. The second drawing is more simple, it has multi-colored beads surrounding the necklace and uses only one type of wire. I've also been looking at other creations and using them as inspiration to incorporate into my sketches. Hopefully by the next blog entry I will have a complete idea of what my jewelry will look like!
