Reflection:
For this project, I was invested in the idea of creating a choker ( a necklace tight to the neck ). I wanted to make the choker out of the smallest circles I could ( one-inch diameter) and piece them together. I connected all the cut-out circles with wire, and it appeared a little bit simple so I then choose to acquire more materials to spice up the look. In scrap wood section I found dark plywood, and I thought it could add to the piece, so I cut up three narrow strips and installed between the wooden circles. That is how I got my necklace. I am proud of the product I was able to produce and thoroughly enjoyed crafting my first wooden object in the wood shop. That place seems incredibly intimidating, however, with fantastic instructors and the extra FREE wooden scraps, the experience was a blast.
