Composition play

I feel my design work will follow the suit of my drawing, and be made up of lots of little compositions - full of line, colour and shape. Here's a few I messed around with 

These are based on one of my drawings from sunny Coletta in Spain. I feel they still lack detail. But I very much enjoy playing around with different componants to see their visual effect. I'll link this to my concept and design work later in the project, which I find greatly develops through my research. But for sampling and inspiration this technique is great! 


(Though I'd have to find out how to attatch them all together...) 

P.s. I'm thinking adding detail by making my own plastics - more on this to come!

New Project - first day in metal

Though maybe my first attempt at Bezel setting isn't going too well, I like the effect of line and shape. It reminds me of my drawings. I could set up a series of these to photograph, and potentially cut the acrylic to set the metal in rather than on top

Metal Workshop Outcomes
- make a series of objects which demonstrate preffered skills

My initial thoughts
- architectural jewellery
- large scale inspiration (the empire state, brooklyn bridge, London buildings/ bridges)
- smaller scale inspiration (boats, spainsh hillside villages)
- Colour inspiration (drawings from Spain)
- Juxtapose natural materials with manmade (leather against acrylic)
- combine metal, textiles, leather and acrylic
