Linkage

This piece is a brass necklace linked together using wire and sheet metal. For inspiration, I looked at Ambigram's as a reference. I found one with Gothic lettering that was interesting to me, I changed it and made the design unique.
Rough sketch before fabrication:

     At the end of the elongated middle pieces, i hammered the sheet metal to create wire to allow for linkage/movement.After further discussion/sketches, I decided to avoid the middle pendant and focus on the necklace as a whole. Sketches help me tremendously in the preparation because the order of process is the key to a successful piece. 

Final Product:


Clasp solution (has yet to be soldered):
