exploring 2

Thank you Rebecca for this idea!!!

It was really fun to think of other ways of decoration.

back to where they came from

about ephemeral, momentary, transitory

For my final project, I narrowed down my subjects into the idea of ephemeral, momentary, transitory things. I also changed my companies as well to make my hallway exhibition stronger.

I chose flowers for my material. I am playing with them to get some ideas, what I want to do and how I want to wear them.

They are all from outside of Jewelry disciplinary.

It seems they do not share one common theme, but I felt some strong connections or ties to those people. I do not know how I am going to approach these people's idea into a wearable piece. I need to believe my first inspiration to them and challenge myself as well!!

working with a flower

I got a tulip and started dissecting it

pollens....powderly. Some cultures use these pollens to dye clothes.

I combined them with silicon. It was interesting.

making a silicon mold

I made a silicon mold. This was my first time to try.

There is an electroformed piece inside.

I really liked its tactile or tangible quality of silicon, little wet but solid and translucence.
