Final piece

    This was a very interesting project,and challenging as well . 

The worst part of  project was having to solder the filigree,as i am not experienced enough.It was challenging to make such thin wire and make even twists.what i liked was making the piece 3 dimension and building layers on a piece

Greebles

This is the arm piece i designed, based on a theme 'greebles'.A greeble is a fine detailing added to the surface of a larger object that makes it appear more complex, and therefore more visually interesting.

Experimenting with wire and enamelling

Still continuing with playing and learning about colour combinations, I have used  line to make patterns.I am using wire to achieve this line pattern  with varying spaces in between. I also played with colour variety in the positive and negative spaces

Enamelling (my final design piece)

My research on three jewellers has influenced my way of thinking about colour in jewellery. It has made me interested in enamel. I didn't know that you can actually mix non-precious metals with colours and still get a feel of it being precious to the wearer. I have been busy doing some research on techniques that my 3 jewellers specialise in and materials  that they use.

This is a texture that  I got by putting metal into the kiln at 860 degrees celsius

This is just playing around with metal thickness and how I need my different impressions on a metal
