Monday 5th January- 7th Wednesday 2015

I managed to have the patience and make my piece within this 3 day period, constantly working and it was a stuggle breaking so many saw blades but I'm happy with the piece I've created in the short period I had!

During The Christmas Holidays

During this period of time I filled my Design book with ideas when I had the chance and bought my materials after deciding what I was going to make. I marked my metal ready for the workshop and the Monday I was back.

Today I found out how Cerys wanted me to re-create the paper machette everyone liked in my assessment. It finally made sense to thin the aliminium down so it posessed the same qualities as paper.

Today I incised aluminium with the similar idea I tried using paper. It was hard to correspond the paper idea using metal as the materials work differently.

I think this idea looks very messy though because of hand cutting.

I'm planning on taking it in Monday and talking to Cerys about it because I'm really stuck!

Today I played around with arranging my forms together, I think this was helpful as I could see the idea coming together, when the pieces are in clusters they do abstractly appear as butterflies.

Today we had a seminar with Cerys and each explained what 'Our Manifesto' would be.

I found this task confusing at first as we had to find images of designers work or something that would allow us to explain our thoughts and opinions. I found this a really helpful and interesting task as we all had quite similar ideas of what our class should be known for in years to come.

In the workshop today I carried on making triangle forms using the rolling mill and textured hammers to experiment on the metal and see what the turn out would be, I also used needle files to texture the edges of my objects.

Tonight I played with some porcelain making forms to stick my aluminium forms into inspired by photos of monarch butterflies clustering on trees.
