Look What I've Done:

During our first, or maybe second, week of Uni the First, Second and Third years of BA Jewellery And Silversmithing collaborated to create Christmas presents! A little early you might think? Well, so did I. But it was fun anyway. The presents we made were to be gifted to other BA students as part of an exchange at Christmas. We were all to make a present in a group (the presents were all meant to be wearable and reflect a similar theme to th
e rest of your group) we then decorated boxes for them to hang from the School Of Jewellery Christmas tree once it's erected.

My group's theme was 'All That Glitters Is Not Gold' (I kind of manipulated it this way, you'll find out why later!). And this is what I made:

It's a ring (the shank made from a ring bound sketchbook). The 'flowery' bit is from felt, I added a metallic paint to the outside and inner edges, which dried with a metal/plastic feel. I also painted some cocktail sticks which I added to the inside and created a webby mess with UHU glue! Sounds crappy but I loved it!
It's a shame that I have to give it away because whoever gets it probably won't appreciate it as much as I do so they'll just chuck it in the bin!
