Mixing it up.

This week I have thought long and hard about what I want to make after taking considerations into order, such as time, materials and my concept.

I have decided to stray away my shoulder/brooch piece.

I want the main part of my design to highlight my circular layered piece that shows the point of field perception I have developed from the start, I've decided to go along with making a collectors item, something that you could display, collect and exhibit. 

I want people to look at this object and feel the same emotions you have when looking at a scenic view, or a nostalgic thought for a place or time in their life.

Here's my bay, I've arranged it and narrowed it down to samples I find interesting and that can relate to eachother, although I will be sticking to the circular shaped piece as the main feature I'm still working on what materials I'm wanting to use for the handle, I've researched into magnify glasses and vintage glasses with handles and believe I could do something quite unique with this object.

Here are a couple of the maquettes I've made this week using card and polypropylene.

Designing process.

This week we're finally thinking about our final pieces for our brief.

I experienced trying to write a learner agreement, which is quite difficult when writing isn't your strong point!

Well besides writing this week has been nice to have a clear out of my bay and look at the work and find samples with potential to develop.

On Friday we were set a task to create 10 different looks for our final piece.

I've decided to make a elaborate/exhibition jewellery piece.

I was really inspired by work from Catherine Wales, 

I love how her pieces are molded around the human form into something elaborate and interesting.

I found it really helpful to draw ideas out before making them and here is what I came up with.
