Week 12: Totally failed experiment

I'm so behind! A whopping 5 weeks. I haven't been making any jewelry. But this time for a good reason. I fell in love :). At least I think that is a good excuse lol.
So about this piece. My new BF loves to dart so I thought I'd make him a dart arrow pendant to wear. Well I'm so not pleased with the result. It's way to large to be a pendant for a guy I think. It's 2.6" (6.6cm). Now I'm thinking of ways to save it. Maybe do it horizontally by attaching chain? But where to I attach the chain? I can do some basic soldering. Or maybe make it into something else? It is made out of SS wire. And I plan to oxidize it. You see I need help! So any comments would really be appreciated! Dart

oooo, in luuuvvvvvvvvvvvvvv. HOW EXCITING!!! YAY! Best wishes to you!

I don't have any advice other than I kinda like this as it is, but when I saw it I didn't have any preconceived notions of what it should look like. I might keep it as is and design some similar smaller works to go with it and make this the centerpiece in a necklace, with the smaller ones as graduated dangles - or something. :)
