I did and boy was that a tricky one! But here’s my owl pin. After lots of experimenting
I realized it needed to be made in a thinner gauge wire than I usually use for
aluminum pins. So it probably wouldn’t work well for a heavy shawl. It had been
requested many times and it was a fun challenge.
It’s been a productive week. I was finally able to figure out how to use my new
little Canon Elf Power Shot and get some good pictures of these new
Little LilacI still need to work on it though. I’m too lazy
to get a real DSLR camera and learn how to really do this photography thing. So
my little point and shoot and photoshop is where I’m at.
We had a special request for a little sterling silver pendant version of the
Thor’sSo here it is.
I had a stroke of something-I wouldn’t go so far as to call it genius – and realized
I needed to hang a little heart from the right side of the Om symbol design in order
to get it to hang right. A perfect balance. This Om Symbol Ornament is the result.
I started taking yoga classes again last year after a 10 year hiatus. I take it from
a lovely kind woman who has a sweet little cabin studio in the woods near where I live.
Her studio is adorned with yoga related nick nacks. My busy mind often ends up
looking at all the om symbols and thinking about how I can make it out of wire.
I just can’t help myself.
And this was the result. It was pretty tricky getting it to work with one piece of wire.
I’d like to make it as a pendant but I just can’t get it to hang straight. It will need
some sort of balancing bead dangling off the lower right loop and I haven’t come up
quite the right solution yet for that.
So for now I only offer the Om Aluminum Shawl Pin.
