ICAP: Interdisciplinary Craft as Art Project

One of the things I'll be working on between now and March is my contribution to the Interdisciplinary Craft as Art Project.  This is a project conceived of and led by students at the university where I work.  It's a great idea.  They asked people who craft to think about creating a project which straddles interdisciplinary lines. 

1...2...3...4

My project is to make four copper necklaces which incorporate mathematical poetry.  Sarah Glaz, of the University of Connecticut, has graciously agreed to let me use her poem "I Am A Number" which you can download and read here.  The poem has four parts, each dedicated to poetically describing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.  My job is to make one necklace dedicated to each number and its verse.  Um....stanza?  Er, maybe I need to consult with the poetry professor about what to call each part of the poem. 

I ordered the copper sheet and supplies today.  Once those arrive, I'll start working on and blogging about this project (with pictures!).
