Build A Line Challenge

I am getting ready to participate in the BUILD A LINE Challenge from B'sue Boutiques. Click on the badge on the right to read more about it and follow our progress.

"This is how many of us work.....madly, quickly, ideas flowing faster than our fingers can move.  
And I'll be the first to admit:   this is MY workspace down in the Messy Workshop, where our first videos were made, and a space we'll be using again before too long.
We may work in chaos, but chaos will not work for us where our finished jewelry is concerned.  It is time to concentrate, think deep, and discover simple truths about what is IS people want, and how we as handmade jewelry artists can give it to them at prices they will pay. 
That's a real challenge.....and WHY the BUILD A LINE CHALLENGE was born!
Here is my first post on it, you may want to review it:
The Ultimate Challenge
This amazing opportunity will be a challenge that will last three months.  Those who participate will need to be fully committed."

Challenge Update: Wire Wrapping

Update #1 on Challenge #1: 30 days of wire wrapping 

 

I've been learning some new wire wrapping techniques

An update on the sealing of the shells: 

Latest test: Mod Podge Gloss

 Creamy rich-beige shell fragment sealed with Mod Podge

I like the Mod Podge Gloss clear acrylic sealer spray. It puts a nice shiny finish on the shell and really brings out the colors giving the shells a "just out of the surf" look.

I love the sea-tumbled shell fragments. They are similar to sea glass or sea pottery except that they are ... well... shells that have been tumbled smooth by the ocean. 

I also wrapped one tumbled shell that I did NOT seal...

 Unsealed shell

Which one do YOU like best?
