Resistors = Bracelets

A few years ago, while in Oregon, I learned about a place called Willie's.........a store full of creative goodness.   Well I visited and bought a bunch of stuff including some resistors.    I put them away and then couldn't find them........came back to Arizona and they were still MIA until just a couple months ago when we caught up with each other again.  

I poured them out in one of the red wagons so you could get a view of them.   They come in all different shapes and colors.   A lot of them have wires at both ends and some of them have two wires at one end.   As to what they really do in the real world, I don't have a clue and really don't care.   All I know is that I could use them in my art world.

I quickly made up a few to use as charms for a bracelet.  You can either cut one end off and just have one loop or you could do a loop on each end.    I know the loops are not perfectly round but I really don't care......kind of like the odd shapes of them.

Then I thought I would quickly make up a bracelet or two.   On the first bracelet, I added some of my things to it like monopoly game pieces, a watch face, a hand, eye glasses, shoes, some bead danglies I made and the resistors.   I put the resistors on first and I just secured them directly to the bracelet doing a wire wrap right onto the link of the bracelet.   Then I added the other stuff with jump rings.

I then made a bracelet with just the resistors and all of them were added directly to the links of the bracelet.   I put one on each link.......no jump rings on this piece.

So that's what I did this morning which was a lot of fun.   And it was a quick little project.

Check out Sherry Goodloe's blog because she is having a weekend giveaway.   I loved the necklaces she did and posted about earlier.   Now she is giving away a bracelet of the same style for a Weekend Giveaway.   She is a wonderful mixed media artist.
