A big challenging for me was keeping the zig-zag pattern lined up with the top and bottom wires and keeping it even. This project is not completely finished because I haven't gotten a chance to solder the ends together yet.]]> 2016-12-19 14:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144320666 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144322100 2016-12-19 15:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144322100 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144322573 This is favorite project I made this semester. I love the design because it reminds my of the Colorado landscape, which is my favorite place to be. It took me a long time to complete, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Making the chain was especially time consuming because of the chain design I chose, but I think it goes well with the pendant and I wouldn't change it. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144322573 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144323810 2016-12-19 15:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144323810 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324016 This was a fun project and not very difficult or time-consuming. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I liked being able to use the new process of the hot twist. The tapering was kind of hard and it required a few days to complete, but it turned out well. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324016 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324505 step 1: start with an 8-inch wire (I chose nickel silver).]]> 2016-12-19 15:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324505 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324784 use a ball-peen hammer to forge the end of the wire.]]> 2016-12-19 15:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144324784 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325091 complete on both sides of the wire.]]> 2016-12-19 15:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325091 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325278 fold the wire in the place where you want the design to start. make it as tight of a fold as possible]]> 2016-12-19 15:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325278 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325581 forge the end of the fold you just made.]]> 2016-12-19 15:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325581 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325759 flip the wire by pulling back one end of it.]]> 2016-12-19 15:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325759 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325980 repeat until your pattern is completed.]]> 2016-12-19 15:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144325980 mekobida https://padlet.com/mekobida/c8taa2k1qi0/wish/144327702 I was unable to fully complete the bracelet by soldering the two ends together.
