Picto necklaces

April 8, 2011 - 5:16pm — Sidewalk
An idea came to my mind a few days ago.

As a fundraiser, who would be interested in having a wooden carving of your picto to wear as a necklace on a leather string? I'd still have to work lots of things out... But what do you think about the idea?

That would be neat.... but I do see a lot of people needing more than one due to the fact that they have tons of deer XD

Thanks~ And yes. But I would

Thanks~
And yes. But I would need other to help, of course. It would be a mess if I had to do this all alone, heh.. Also, some pictos have floating parts, Like Png's picto. I was thinking of fishing line to connect that to the rest of the carving. Im not the best carver, so I'd need help..

Could do pictos with floating

Could do pictos with floating parts as a solid piece, too - an oval or circle background (or whatever shape), and the pictogram either carved down into it or raised up from it.

You could just make a circle

You could just make a circle then have the actual pictogram popping out. If you know what I mean? I'm not sure of the actual term but that would save you from having to connect "floating" parts.
And perhaps if they want multiple pictograms you could have it traveling up the necklace and charge more for it. If you do it the circle way you could make a hole through the circle part. I hope I am making sense. ^_^;

I've also had a similar idea. I have had a wood burning kit for months now that I have not even touched yet. (I get nervous trying new things so procrastinate.) But I had wanted to do something like you mentioned. X-D

Edit,
Aivilo beat me to it. X-D lol

I love this idea. But I am a broke little seventh grader.

However, I personally think I'm good at whittling and carving, so maybe I could help make them? I don't need any money from it. It would be a lot of fun. <3

I would love to help, but my art is in clay and drawing. ;~;.

I don't want $$, but I could take requests? I make bowels, and I can certainly try my... -gigges- hoof at a clay picto. Sticking out tongue.
