Alternate Material 

How did you come up with your idea? Was it your original idea or did it change during the process?

 My original idea was to make a hand with friendship bracelets wrapped around the wrist, but I wanted to have an ocean theme so I changed my idea into a shell. I used coils, wrapping them around in a circle getting smaller as I went up, creating the shell structure, and allowing spots for the bracelets to go when I wrapped them around the form. I made a long and knotted friendship bracelet that I was going to wrap and glue all the way around the shell form. However, the first bracelet I made lost, or someone threw it out. I never ended up making another one due to laziness and I kept forgetting so this project ended up being left incomplete. I like the glazing of the form, and I like how smooth it ended up. I do not like the shape of it at all, and it is super heavy. I think that if I were to redo this project, I would make the shell longer and shape it so it looks more shell-like. Also, I would make it smaller, because as I mentioned before, it was pretty heavy.
