Finished!

We finished hanging our shows on the rather lucky sounding Friday 13th May and are waiting to find out our final results. In the mean time I am working on a few things I'd like to make for the degree show (mainly for me to wear!) I'm also really looking forward to a visit to the Dundee exhibition this week.

A research/dissertation avoidance day

New work

Neckpiece Detail (In progress)

This is a sneak peak of a neckpiece I am currently making. At the moment it has about 600 wires on it and resembles a creepy-crawley of some sort. Plan to develop this into other designs but this one will stay simple.

A blast from the past

Bangle (2008) White precious metal wire, oxidised copper.

I'm working late in college justnow and was looking through my old photos on the computer and found these! This was a bangle I made in my first year for the 'Repetition' project. I loved this piece.

First project of 4th year...

Slate!

A recent development in my work is the incorporation of slate. Lovely colour, lovely flat surface, lovely lovely lovely. I'm excited to see where I can take this.

10 weeks to go...

The pressure is beginning to get to us all! The deadline is 10 weeks on Friday.
I am currently trying to work on a million different things at once. Hoping to have my first brooch finished tomorrow (I have sent away two which unfortunately wont be back in time for degree show) and by Friday I should be well on my way to having another two pieces! While my working method may be somewhat erratic and all over the place, it's really exciting when everything starts to come together at once.

My bench has been a constant state of chaos since this semester started. I love it.
