GruffaloGriff 1,858 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Good idea that Gaff, you can make jewelry out of all sorts of stuff that is just scrap bits lying about. My boy just made this up for his nat 5 art assessment, mainly bits old hot water cylinder and heavy copper earth wire. Edited May 8, 2015 by GruffaloGriff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,858 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeh can't keep him out of the shed, would happily live in there, chip off the old block, i was the same at that age, just comes in for food! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Better than being on the computer all the time that's for sure I thought it was a small piece but looking at it on who is wearing it it big would be really nice as a small bit of jewellery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,858 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yes it's his little sister wearing it but it is still really too big to be practical. More just an exercise to prove he could design a piece on paper then develop the idea and finally follow through with making it. He got an A for it anyway, think the teacher was a bit gob smacked, expected cardboard, string & sellotape ! But then like i said he more or less has lived in a shed full of tools since he was a nipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
