Final Pieces 3 Days and counting.

So Ive spent the morning editing these 

photos for my portfolio,

These are a few more pieces that will 

form my degree show.

Exciting and scary times!

Each Piece is made from Silver and have been enamelled.

(apart from the one which clearly hasn't been enamelled)

Notch

Decorative Arts Notch

We currently have a shop running from 20th May till 31st May

which is situated in the old connextions building in Hockley, Nottingham.

The end is too close.

 Havent blogged in what seems like forever! With my degree show lurking even closer
 ive had hardly any time to catch up with this.

Here are a few final photos of what ive made and will be shown
 in my degree show.

Sketching up the Final Designs

 So I have 3 sketch books pretty full of drawings which needed condensing down into a final collection.

I havent quite got them all finished but I have a rough 

idea what I want for my degree show.

Earrings

Single pendants

Multiple pendants

Large layered neck adornment

here are a few of the sheets Ive drawn out to make

my life a tad bit easier.

With 3 weeks to go Ive got a lot of work to do,

There will be plenty of all nighters and a lot of 

pro plus involved.

Playing with samples

A few photos from playing around and layering up samples.

Goodbye £70

So these are a progression of the copper earrings I made.

They are made from 0.5mm Silver,

Not yet finished but almost there.

I intend to enamel the insides of the earrings

to add a more contemporary feel.

Goodbye £70.

Seeing as Silver was down in price by 15% I stocked 

up a little bit.

The unsuccessful productive day

So I was having a productive day enamelling,

Until both my pieces broke in the kiln :(

But tomorrow is a new day 

and glue is the answer to everything :)

The final colours for my collection.

Recent Enamelling.

 Here are some of the things ive been working on this week.

New colour, Not so keen though.

Finally thought of a way of attaching the pieces to a chain.

Experimenting with texture and enamel.

Larger piece which needs adding on to

My favourite "Happy Accident" earrings
