Day 72 : Work 72. Dream composition of grid necklace

Day 72 : Work 72. Dream composition of grid necklace

It was one of the sample perforated sheets from the cabinet. Now I have only one left and I would like to give the pendant below a great life as a necklace. Many ideas have been considered but nothing has been decided.

The form below is what I made on day50 of Crafthabit project 1 . I also mentioned this structure on day 43 talking about planned or intuitive. According to well known dictionary, Thesaurus.com or Oxford dictionary the opposite word for intuitive is reason or counterintuitive but I thought the proper word for intuitive form in making process is more like planned. So this was definitely planned form and I have decided this one to be a pendant.

However, to complete the whole necklace I would like to make the chain for this pendant to show where it comes from. In other words the functional part, chain should be integral to the piece. I would like to see each shape or structure of the chain have its own characteristics. Materials to be used should be considered as well as the colours, either black or needs to be chosen carefully.

Let’s see how I can come up with the conclusion and meantime I will enjoy making each unit of chain for this pendant. Stay tuned!
