Old vs New
Now a days people have begun to realize the usefulness of recycling and how you can make something new with various things near at hand. However, this idea doesn't just consist of the random old button or some old clothing you can use to make yourself a new look. The idea of finding inspiration from things found in the past can involve ideas and techniques as well.
One of my favorite things to do is to find inspiration from ancient civilizations that can be found in our past, from the monumental feats of the
Egyptians to the simplistically beautiful works of art done by the
Asians.
An Old Idea

I would like to give an example of one of my favorite techniques that was found to be used dating back to the time of the Egyptians. They are known as Egyptian Coils, and can be found in some of the oldest pieces of jewelry of the
Egyptian civilization. These simple coils were used to create some of the most beautiful pieces of their time.
Now I used the idea behind the Egyptian Coils to create my own piece of jewelry and added a bit of my own style to create a piece that takes me back to the
ancient times.
I always found the fantasy of ancient times when the world was mysterious to be so interesting, and that is what this bracelet reminds me of overall. I think of dragon scales and ancient worlds, and therefore I named this piece my Spiral Dragon Scale Bracelet.
It is just another way to make old techniques to make new ideas.
