Where am I heading?

trying to move away from the flatness of these elements...

Although my topic hasn't changed for my B Tech, my Aim or Vision has changed. I want to create pieces of jewellery that can be classified as Contemporary Indian jewellery...Created for the modern Indian woman.

Ive been using piercing as my main technique but my pieces have proved to be very flat, I want to try layering elements so that more dimension is created. My next step is to also try combining the piercing technique with another technique which i am very fond off. Wax pressing...this is a technique that Ive tried before and i was very pleased with the results, it really worked well for me. I want to combine the cleanness of piercing with the almost messy, organic look of wax pressing...have a feeling that they will compliment each other.

I feel that with regards to my intentions, I have grown a lot and made much improvement with figuring out and defining what i would like to achieve.

My aim now is to work towards creating a contemporary set of Indian Bridal Jewellery which, when worn, can be identified as a set of Indian Bridal Jewellery but if worn individually, can be recognised as Contemporary pieces inspired by traditional Indian Jewellery

Beginning Stages

This is some of the jewellery that i made at the beginning of last year...

We are almost reaching the half way mark of the year...The pressure is on B techs! Time to some-up whats been happening so far and what progress has been made with regards to my B Tech.

A week ago we(The B techs) were given a "Crit Session" by a group of our lecturers from our department. I feel that it was very beneficial because it got me thinking about what has been happening over the past few months, I was also forced to explain or rather think about and explain to my lecturers...Where I started, What changes have been made? and how have i been trying to improve?

At the beginning of my B tech, I was really focused on the Idea of "Traditional Indian Bridal Jewellery." My intention was to look at traditional pieces and somehow recreate them but at the same time creating unique elements...I felt that by sticking to traditional designs, it would be impossible for me to lose the essence of Indian jewellery in my own work.
