Inspire Me: I : Continuum

"I : Continuum" - Copper and Garnet.

=======================================

The first piece I made in my Inspire Me contest, where participants submit ideas/concepts which I may decide to turn into jewelry (and the three most inspiring concepts will win the jewelry pieces made). Go have a look if you haven't seen it yet! XD

So, this one was based on the entry by ~latisuicune - "Piece (or pieces) dealing with the time/space idea, of how the two hold each other in balance and have no beginning or end"

And I went SPACE TIME how could I resist! I created this pseudo maille weave for a necklace, which I've named "Continuum". On to the explanation:

I liked copper for this, although a more neutral-coloured metal might have been more of a no-brainer. I liked how drastically the colour of copper can alter, and sometimes quickly - from "shiny new penny" to dark browns and greens (which is, kinda interesting but not terribly pleasant I guess..?) - the sense of Time, right there.

Space was a little trickier to communicate I guess. I made infinity loops for links, and also used regular jump rings - large ones. The garnet beads, representing life - like worlds - and like the large jump rings, bear a certain Gravity. But they're all suspended by the Infinity loops. XD

Eh. Yeah, so my thought processes are a bit iffy, yes/no/maybe? I do like the piece in any case.

=======================================

So, if I decide at the end of the contest that this was one of the three most inspiring ones, I'll send it on. However, if not - I will be offering it to dA followers at a low, Low price, plus shipping (with, of course, priority given to the entrant).
