The Ever Adapting Design…. The journey of a work of jewellery.

So….it all started with this oval I had made some months ago from forged 3mm wire. I started using more handmade elements to play around with composition.

Miniature collections development

Inspired by the miniature collection I found attached to a magnet under my partner’s bed I made a series of continuous line drawings. Here are some of them.

 

Pattern tiles

I created these pattern tiles from a collaged artwork I made a while back.

Prototype Logos??

   

These were my first two digitally made logos after doing some initial sketches. I was at first drawn to the one on the right. Below is an idea of the type of backgrounds I may have on my website, to give you an idea of context.

WALL-E Explores my room!!

This little fella used to bumble around like this but these days he needs…..

My First Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)

I originally wanted to create this drawing as an animation, but had so many other things in the pipeline (welding, print etc etc) that I opted to record it as a screen capture as I drew it on Illustrator then sped it up in Premier Pro. Gifmaker.me was a great way to easily create a simple version of my original idea.

I’m really excited about what I can do with this simple animation program, I have some really amazing props I can get involved!!! You can use up to 30 images on this one, do any of you know of a free program that lets you upload a few more perhaps?

Oh yeah, once again this work comes from the miniature collection I found attached to a magnet under my fella Dave’s bed!

Meet our new family member

Mark from http://www.gizmobots.co.uk helped me make this robot for for my fella Dave’s birthday on the 2nd of December….

It all started when I found something under the bed…

This series of prints was adapted from prints I exhibited in our recent Ubiquitous Assimilation exhibition. The project took off for me when I found a magnet under my partners bed with all sorts of objects attached to it. The start point had been miniature collections and this was my miniature collection.

Past, Present and Future…

A little bit more of an introduction…

I feel like I’ve been through so very many evolutionary creative stages in the past five years and I think social media has become a significant part of the one I’m currently in.

Look What I Made Today :-)

This is my first welded object since I made my cube. I made it in homage to Japanese artist Junko Mori who’s blacksmith has been teaching me some of the ropes. I’m rather pleased with it…
