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!

Today I had a go at using the milling machine, I cut a piece of wood to attach my metal to using masking tape then changing the machine to adjust to my angle I wanted to achieve.

I marked the metal both sides as accurate as possible and then began the process, I found it very difficult to keep the measurements accurate and this lead to difficulty when it came to folding the scores after anealing the piece.

I found the shape interesting in the end because when i flipped the piece of changed it's position the appearance would change completely.

Today I experimented with a few of the ideas I drawn yesterday making them in Copper and Brass

and seeing if any of them would work out.

I spoke to Julie about my ideas and research I have been looking at, we both brain stormed ideas and she suggested sticking with the triangular form.  

We spoke about what paths I could go down such as colour, form, size and surface finishes,

I liked the idea of looking into the environment and reflective surfaces, projecting scenary onto my piece bringing the element of nature back into my piece.

I spoke to her about looking into Art Nouveau and how I wanted to link it in with the Will to Flight but I didn't want to use too much decoration, Julie suggested playing around with softer shapes and how this movement was for the young and fresh at the time and how I can reflect this ideal in today's society and claim that I am the new and fresh face of design.

I feel I can keep developing this project further now and I'm excited to do some research and take some photo's!

Sketchbook Day.                                                                                                                                                                        

Today I had some brain waves so I decided to draw them out in my sketchbook and write some notes and then have a play with painting. I feel like I need to speak to Julie about my ideas and see which one I should concentrate on!
