wednesday is my day off uni so i got in my comfies and had a sampling day at home while watching random programs on the tele with my mum :)

it was sunny today for once!! so i made the most of it leaving my work to dry out...

i am now snuggled up taking photos of them and doing the not so good bit, writing them all up!

i have been asked to commission a range of pieces for a wedding in april so i started to put together some pieces this weekend...

i am also carrying on exploring into using techniques and process effectively within my theme...

i also have been carrying on drawing... i used my table easel for the first time!!..

today i have been focusing on thinking about my future in the morning and this afternoon looking at products i can create from my samples....

i have been creating ceramic rings with mostly geometric shapes..

i came in one morning this week to find this at my bay...

...well what can i sayyyyy ;)

more recent workk...

as i am looking at structure i am also looking at the structure of the body...

i am thinking about different ways my jewellery can attach to the body...

recently i have been carrying on with more and more testing for my final major project

i havent put any images on of what  have been doing for a while so i thought id give an update..

i went on two trips to industrial sites to take more photo to work from...

i have been continuing to look at knitting and how i can create new looks...

i am using knitting and stretching it across spot welded shapes, 3d and 2d and looking at the lines i can make.

i have also been experimenting with coloured clay looking at what shades of grey and black i can make.

with the coloured clay i have also been doing alot of tests aiming at making full ceramic rings...

im excited about these as i have wanted to do these since my 2nd year of uni.

i have also been looking at designs i can create from my samples so far.

i have decided i would like to do a range of quirky, strange jewellery which adorn the body in not necessarily the normal ways. i am also going to do some small pieces such as rings as less expensive pieces also as part of my jewellery range.

i have looked at the markets and what is already available and created mood boards to inspire me but also to make sure my work is unique...

as i haven't worked with some of the materials in depth before i will also be doing wear tests to see how the jewellery reacts to my skin and how i feel wearing it.

i am thinking about how the jewellery is against the structure of the body.

it has also been my birthday recently and my friend rosie gave me some nice pressies i thought id share!

rosie is a textiles artist i have known for about 5 years now and i love her work!
