Those three simple notes that gave me the idea for my song were being explored in all different ways I wanted it to go. Nothi · Although capstone did take an unexpected turn, it wasn't difficult to adjust to the new changes. · At first my project revolved around wire-wrapping and jewelry in general, and then I realized I enjoy making earrings more. As I continued making earrings and trying to do it with only beading, I realized I enjoyed making earrings out of fun objects and creatures more than only using beading.
