Design suggestion:
If the finished piece
is to be realistic, use colors that you have observed in nature. Consider
focusing on a particular season - spring has light and bright greens,
summer has strong greens, fall is every shade of yellow-orange-green-red,
and winter can be grey with snow and the blue-green of a fir tree.
A more abstract approach
could involve any color or texture.

Steam
Punk Bracelet
Traditionally, steampunk designs are base metal colors with much tarnish
or oxidation mixed with found objects of mechanical or steam-powered themes.
Clock parts, keys, gears, nuts, bolts and chain are mixed with filigree,
flowers, birds, and imagery from the Victorian to the Industrial Revolution.
Steampunk can use heavy, dark colors and yet look delicately feminine. Think
Jules Verne and HG Wells meets Edward Scissorhands. The current culture
of recycled and repurposed goods makes this the perfect way to use up your
old bits and pieces!
Supply List: I encourage students to bring leftover bits and pieces
from their own stash. Small lengths of chain can be combined. Vintage clasps
and findings make great charms! Supplies will be available for purchase
for $10.
