I was checking in at a large publisher of craft books (http://www.larkbooks.com/submissions) for submissions... a call out section for artists and saw a design challenge for a '30 minute' necklace project. *See light bulb above head* the brain is going "I can do this... maybe?"** Serious thinking going on here, see wheels turning above my head** You see due to my auto-immune disorder I avoid wire work, I just don't have the strength in my hands. So I make almost all of my necklaces on one sometimes two pieces of flex wire. That leaves me only struggling with crimps and crimps covers.
Dana, the daughter has done this project thing and her paper jewelry project graced the cover of the book. http://tinyurl.com/paper-jewelery * She also has a BFA in silversmithing and jewelry making along with her MA in art education.* So writing directions is easy for her. Really Dana has had pictures of her artwork printed in 5 books from Lark, the first while she was in undergrad. Dana's web page http://kdanak.com/
I wonder if the 30 minutes includes picking the beads? Or it is just string them together. I can string one together in 30 minutes, I think.
For now I am trying to come up with a good combination of stones that is easily purchased.
Next I will worry about writing down directions.
thanks for stopping by
