1. Found bright pink rope. Thought I'll use that one day. Liked the colour, it was cheap, good texture, and was in great condition.
2. Experimented with melting the rope. Plan was to melt pieces of it completely.
3. While melting realised the texture was great and worth keeping. Liked it looking like rope. Kept experimenting and found a way to make it stiff, while keeping the appearance of rope.
4. Made some samples. Wanted to make a chain.
5. Worked on making the pieces look more finished.
6. Needed a few pieces to exhibit (will talk about this in the next post) so thought a few samples would be good to show.
7. Started layering pieces and realised they would make great brooches. Plus three of these would look good as a group.
8. Made three finished brooches as shown above.
9. Will now keep experimenting with other types rope, and other forms of jewellery.
10. Want to finish that chain.

They're beautiful, Liana - and it's great to read about your creative process too. So much of art & craft is fortuitous discovery, isn't it!
What a great explaination of how one of your new pieces is created. Love the shocking pink colour too Liana! :)
The color of the rope really pops!
