Nut

I have been feeling rather lost the last six weeks. I haven't felt inspired by anything or had any sense of direction design wise. So I spent the time practicing new techniques, and forcing myself along the wire path.

This week I suddenly remembered where I was before I got lost. I remembered why I love wire. I remembered myself.

I knew that what I wanted to do would be time consuming and possibly frustrating, so I waited until Saturday before I even attempted it.


During the work week I have been trying to fit exercise into my life and take time to eat right and play. All those good things cut into the wire time during the work week.


I'm so happy with this project. Many past projects and efforts have brought me to the point where I could make this trinket today. I call this little guy Nut. He is just about the size of a Brazil Nut!

Or maybe he is a seed of of things to come for me? hehe

He is just big enough to hold some baby teeth, lock of hair, or string, or a ring, or pebble, or some tiny precious something!

Before I actually attempted this project I did an experimental prototype first. That way I can test out ideas, or catch potential errors, or use it for measurements when I do the real thing. Here is a picture of the prototype in case you're interested.
