A boring, blurry photo of a guitar-string bangle bracelet |
A better photo: Gold-tone guitar-string earrings |
Yesterday I was going to make another pair, but the string I had chosen was too thick, so I decided to see if I could turn it into a necklace... and I did. I chose wooden beads, big brown bibakao seeds (from countries down in the Caribbean) and a large bead made from fossilized dyed sponge coral. I wrapped the guitar string around itself to create wrapped loops at each end and attached a clasp.
This necklace was easier to make than I thought! |
As it happened, this piece turned out to be rather unisex, which is twice as nice.
Plus, I really like the idea of:
1. re-using something...
2. re-using something that belonged to a person I care about...
3. re-using something that vibrated with sound, making music for others to enjoy...
Will I make more things?
I have lots of strings!
