So, at the end of my last project, I said that I would set myself a small 2 week project to work during the time that my work was being marked. I did start this, my idea to draw the pubs around norwich, in a similar way to how I had drawn the homes and buildings from Thailand - this was to then be a starting point for BA3b, where I had the idea into focussing on metallics and designing wallpapers for a more luxury market. Unfortunately, I only completed two drawings for this as my Gran went into hospital just after I'd handed in and sadly passed away during the first week of the new brief. This meant, much like in the last unit, I had about a 3 week period where I couldn't do any work, or if I did manage, it wasn't a lot. I felt very very behind when I first came back to uni, but in a way this made me work harder and now I am very happy with the pace that I'm working at now, and I'd really like to keep it up.
So!
The starting point...
After my Gran passed away, we had to begin going through her things quite quickly, just to give us all something to do. When my Grandad passed a few months ago, we were all distracted because we still had Gran to care for, whereas this time we had nothing.
I was drawn to her jewellery and some other things that she has collected over the years - she always had these gold leafed plates that stood on one of their cabinets that I had adored since I was a child and had always claimed them for myself one day (although now I could actually take them, I didn't want them at all). I decided that I would focus my drawing and designing on these little trinkets to begin with, as I still want to stick to using metallics in my work and moving forward from my foil work from the last brief; combing my work from the interior and fashion projects to create something really spectacular and well thought out by the end.
