Surface Pattern: Spiral Art Jewellery

As I said in the previous "Spiral Art" post, I tried making this pattern as a piece of jewellery and this is the result.

First, I tried making a wire outline of the pattern (using the lines instead of the coloured parts as the design). This was VERY fiddly as I had to get tiny rings of the wire around some of the intersections because the design wouldn't stay flat, it kept springing into a more 3D form. I did manage to sort it out though and this is what it looks like:


















I then carefully cut out a copy of the coloured design which I stuck to some thick paper. however, because the crossover part of the loops, it was very flimsy so I used my glue gun and some jewellery wire, on the back, to strengthen the design.


















I am really pleased with these but I am not sure yet if I will continue with this idea for my final piece for this unit.
