I feel you can express a lot through jewellery, personally I don't wear garish clothes or have 'I'm unique' hair but I do like to have statement jewellery on. Its a subtle way of showing flare.

Her work is based on concepts and symbolic interpretations of memory, superstition and fantasy.

The use of bare wire against dense beads creates emotion within the piece, worn this would be a strong statement piece.

The obvious contrast of the two sides, the purity of the white peals against the black and turquoise, makes me think of good witch, bad witch from 'The Wizard of Oz'.

This piece is more fresh, the one black bead gives it weight against the simple and breezy beads.

My Jewellery

A bit of a bad day today, I sat down to do my 'homework' for uni and found myself making jewellery all day! Procrastination should be my middle name, although I was quiet pleased with them so it could of been worse.

Hunky Dory Home

N2 Jewellery

I think these are amazing!! If only I a box of random collected things I could turn into some amazing jewellery!

Saul Steinberg

While I was looking in books and the internet for inspiration for my wire objects I came I across a well known name, Steinberg. I am already familiar with his work, and I got to know all about him in a talk I attended in New York, 2009 but while researching for the project I saw his work differently, in a way that spoke to me in a wire context.

  

I could see a link between the continuous movement of the wire and the journey the line takes.

Part 1 - Polly Verity

Wire Shoes by Polly Verity 2005. 

I think these shoes are really simple yet effective, although i am aiming to make a different product with my wire i am appreciate the framework and techniques used.

Part 1 - Polly Becker

Polly Becker uses a mixture of media in her work, I am especially interested in her use of wire.

Part 1 - Research

 

                                                                                     Looking at jewellery, I've been really interested

                                                                                                     in those which use wire.

This is my dream ring! I'm going to attempt to create something similar.

Part 1- Target

These are some of my favourites from Etsy.com.

I'm going to aim to create jewellery for Part 1 of my project, i am still contemplating which type or style but i am going to research further to decide that.

I own a lot of jewellery and think its a useful accessory to express style and taste without being to in your face. It also is usefully for making and outfit more eye catching, matching or contrasting colours and directing viewers attention to or away from certain parts of the body

Part 1- Roseanne Bartley

Brooch made with a crushed tin lid, sterling silver, stainless steel and paint to create a rose effect.

Floral brooches made by Aluminium pull rings from drinks cans to create a flower.

Part 1- Seif al'Hasani

Robots and figures made from all sorts of scarp materials, these are a perfect example of self advertising as they will always be very unique to there creator, showing there style by what they like to collect and have around the house.

Part 1- Owls

Loves these owls, simple yet effective! 

 

 

Anukun Hamala

These paper owls are designed by a Graphic Designer called Anukun Hamala and the template is available for download.

Part 1- Hannah Ayre

By Hannah Ayre
A traditional Japanese lily shaped light shade made with origami paper folding, that fits over fairy lights and can be made with any paper. I think this is really cleaver, and might give it a try =)

New Love
