Lorelei Eurto sent out a challenge, to anyone who wanted to participate, to use some resin bauble sliders in a project and blog about it today.
I was intrigued by the concept and headed to my local Michael’s to see if they had any. I was lucky enough to find some on sale!
I played with various configurations.
I liked some of them but realized that I would have a hard time actually making some of them come to life because of where the holes were on the back.
So, I decided to go structural and see what grew.
I love it! Just a few bits of wire and poof I had a pentagon shaped object. Thanks, Lorelei for the inventive challenge! Here’s a link to her blog where you can see what she came up with. http://lorelei1141.blogspot.com/2013/03/resin-bauble-slider-blog-hop-reveal.html

I did the same exact thing! The end result of my necklace just morphed out of putting each piece together to the next! I love the way you made a 3D object from this. Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day. Erin

So glad too that you shared all those configurations. I did the same playing with them trying to imagine a thread/wire path. I love that it took you to a 3d form, so unexpected and fun

Thank you for showing all your ideas and the path you journeyed on. At first I thought your structural piece was a cuff, but its really cool.

Thank you, Micha! If you had a small hand, it could be a bangle.

I love all of your configurations. Now, I’m wondering how to make some of those work. A few (or several) would be a showstopper of a necklace. I love that you made a 3d structure — just awesome.

I agree, Tanya. I think some of the configurations are doable.

Oh, thank you so much for all those great structure pics! I didn’t purchase that many, so it’s great seeing all the different ways they can go together. I love the fact that you can see some of the lovely gold from back. Awesome job!!

wow! I loved seeing all the different configurations- some I hadn’t even though of ! Great job making a more structural piece! In a way it reminded me at first glance of maybe a large bangle bracelet. Thanks so much for playing along in the challenge!

Thanks, Lorelei! I had fun with this. I think it could be worn as a bangle, if you have a small hand.
