Nancy Small's class pendant

    

 

     Nancy used an ad from the Better Homes and Garden magazine.  Instead of using the entire picture for inspiration, she used a view finder to block out unwanted areas and search for interesting design possibilites.   In the process of creating this piece, she discovered "hidden visuals" that she didn't realize were there.  An example was the positive shape she laid on her background, looked like an N (for Nancy.)  When finished with Black Max, the same N took on the look of an old time shoe. 

 

     This strong, bold design is just the beginning to designing more of your own pieces Nancy.  You did a wonderful job of "seeing" design possibilities.
