Smiley Necklace on torqueSterling silver, Barbie™ doll smiles, resin.
I will likely make another version of this necklace at some point in the near future, because it's an idea I'm really excited about. I've never built up in tiers before, and I like how it allowed me to really layer and overlap the smiles to make it feel even more "crowded." I was aiming to create a chaotic 'audience' feeling, which I think I achieved.
This piece was the biggest ordeal out of the whole grouping however. It was a huge learning experience and overall I'm okay with the results, but I still feel like I need to give it another go 'round with slightly different construction/format to feel like I've really satisfied the concept.

I struggled with the design/layout of this necklace for quite a while. It sat on my table for weeks while I kept re-arranging the parts. In the end I decided to just pick an idea and run with it and I turned out being pleasantly surprised by the results. For one thing, it's super comfortable to wear and hangs beautifully. I would say it's much more exciting on the body than off. I wish I took a close-up photo of the hand-made chain. Each link has been individually hammered which gives it a really unique texture.

Pure fun with this one. Can't wait to use the abs in other works!

I'm enjoying 'breaking out of the circle' lately. One of my favorite things about this style bracelet is the shaped wire lips toggle that threads through the pink circle at the other end for closure.
