(37) Recycled jewellery challenge - work in progress! - YouTube or click on the image to see the video

Work in progress ! Work has begun on the @atworkgalleries recycled jewellery challenge sawing out some shapes and smoothing down the edges which created a lot of flip flop dust! I’ve got an idea of what I’m going to do but it’s working out how to fix them together which isn’t going to be as easy as I hoped. Thinking cap is on 🤔

Lots of colours in this Wave cuff bracelet. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out once it had dried and been cleaned, especially the black dashes which can be a little unpredictable but I think it's come out pretty good!

The #recycledparcelschallenge has begun! Jo and Adele from @workgalleries have
sent out parcels of items destined for landfill (or juicy rubbish as they put it 😂) with the challenge to make a piece of recycled jewellery. It was certainly a surprise when I opened my parcel, even the packaging raised an eyebrow and a giggle 🤭 I’m feeling a bit baffled, excited and nervous but I’m up for the challenge. Any ideas anyone? Anyone? Thanks again to my amazing niece who did all the video editing. I put my best voice on and admire anyone who can look relaxed and natural on camera
