The Web of Ideas 24th September
Today it was time to sort out my ideas and get my concept
ready for testing tomorrow.
I looked for designers, ideas and possible materials to use.
Research is important and helpful for developing ideas.
I did some further research on Jane Adam and Wendy Ramshaw.
I looked at what materials they used, and what they wanted to achieve with
their jewellery. I wrote some information on both of them and found some images
for my sketch book.
I made notes on different metals and what I could use to
create my own jewellery. I thought copper or aluminium? While making this
decision, the tutor came and talked through my ideas. I found out they don't
have the facilities to colour the aluminium, but was asked if I'd considered using
acrylic. I went back and searched for some designers who used acrylic in their jewellery.
I found a range of interesting designs using bright colours. One designer in
particular caught my attention; it was the work of Tasheeta David. Her use of
bright colours and unexpected shapes interested me. Having this new material
brought to my attention and stimulate my interest, I searched for more information
about making jewellery using acrylic.
