Jewelry DIY

Triangle.

A very basic shape with witch you can create a lot of difficult formulas.

In witch I unfortunately wasn't that good.. But that's an other story.

What I can tell you about it is that, as I learned in one of the classes I have in my art school , math is actually a very complicated form of art!

I personally have always been very into geometric forms, especially when the are used in jewelry.

There is something timeless and effortless in such a simple and clean shape that apparently really attracts me.

Thats why I  came up with a very simple geometric jewelry DIY. All you need for this is the follow.

1. A metall max. 4 mm wide tube.

2. A workmate to bent your tube on and make sharp angles.

3. black thread

4. A hammer to make your angles sharper with a little man power.

What you want to do first is measure or look at you tube and at about 1/3 make the first angle, about 45 degrees, so pretty sharp. Then use your hammer so the angle will get more defined.

Repeat this step on 2/3 of the tube and make the angle again using your workmate. During this process check if the ends of the tube meat at your third angle or that you have to adjust your triangle a little.

When you are satisfied with your triangle you take your black tread (or an other color you prefer) and make a little knot around your tube. Then you continue to wrap it around the tube (until it makes you dizzy ;)) until you have covert the part of the tube you wanted with the tread. Then on the end you make an other little double knot, to be sure your end is not going to run.

I choose to make a asymmetrical piece of my triangle black with the tread, so their would come a little twist and an other not normal aspect to the triangle, witch I like.
