For my next jewellery class I need to design a ring to make in silver. I have decided I am rubbish at it. It doesn't really help that I have no idea after one lesson what I can actually make and what skills I will need for it, so I am trying to second guess what I may be capable off. 
Having no limits at all is harder than if I had to stick within certain guide lines.
When I paint and I am not sure of colours or have no references I limit my pale
tte or I have a tendency to go all over the place with it. I have always found it easier to design jewellery based on what materials I have not to just design something and then figure out how to make it. I know this is a contradiction as I only have one material - silver, but I don't yet know my limits.
These are some of my sketches so far I am sure there will be load more by Monday, now all I have to do is decide which ones to take with me......
What would your favourite be?
I love the designs with the swans, but you have plenty of lovely ideas to choose from!
ReplyDeleteI like the fish!!
ReplyDeleteYou've learnt piecring and soldering so far soany design where you pop a piecred shape onto a band would be fine. Or soldering wire shapes onto a band...
Good luck with your designing and making. looking forward to seeing what you choose
