Flute
Necklace formed with memory wire and threaded with beads and shrink plastic. I drew the mouthpiece, connecting headjoint part, and all the keys on my Emerson flute. It took longer than I anticipated and turned out differently than what I had in mind, but I like it. I really want to get better at working with wire. Most of the detours from my original plan were due to not getting the wire to do what I wanted it to do. I do like the individual parts emphsasized, abstracted to represent the body of the flute without it actually being shown.

i really like this piece and a lot of your other shrinky dink work - the drawings are very well done, nice depth and detail…very playful
just wanted to let you know i posted your baby possum earrings in my blog, filthEdesign, i only have like 7 readers, but still 
i’m glad you’re enjoying your printmaking exploration so far, relief printing specifically. linocuts are what i’m primarily doing right now and i work small - 2×3 or 4×6 blocks usually, there’s something to the intimacy for me…similar to your notions of intimacy with jewelry.
