Sitting on the Shelf for Months

Unfinished. Experimental. Behold!






I made this bracelet about 4 months ago. I wouldn't feel right trying to sell this awkwardest of turtles to anyone, but I don't mind revealing it to the internet in picture form. (Speaking of turtles, my Beloit friends may recognize the tabletop as that of one of the tables in the Science Center!) With this piece, I've been working with the nice harmony between the green of the wire and the bronze of the chains and clasp.

So, I like the color combination, but the balance is all wrong. Either I need to disassemble this piece and use its parts for some other creation, or it needs some major renovation. I am just not sure how that will come about.

Suggestions welcome in comments!

  1. I like where you're going with this, but I think as a bracelet there's just not enough room both for the chain and for the knit. Keep the viking knit piece, but try to make it the focal point of a necklace instead?

  2. I may try that necklace thing!
