These are some of the forms I came up with in response to my concept. They are all based on the keyboard, and either 52 white notes or 88 black and white notes. I will show in another post how I applied the different muscial eras to these designs.
This image fans out really nicely when it is on the wrist – but as I am working with polypropylene sheet it doesn’t translate well into the thicker material.
This image above is an experiment with iron on interfacing and acetate.
I thought about doing a stack lot of bangles – either 52 or 88.
This idea of holding the translated sheet music pattern with a bangle is something I am currently working on.
This was an experiment with resin and cross stitch sheet, or something of the type from spotlight. The resin fills in the holes – It can create this really interesting positive negative image if there is a sheet underneath. If I work more on this I will get some images up.

It is past twelve and I left uni about an hour ago. It’s been a very long day, not to mention trying to guilding metal leaf my eye balls (don’t worry fellow workshopers, I used the eye wash shower thingy-majig – Refreshing!)
I am extremely tired but I am going to post some images even if it kills me, so you’d better look at them.
This is after I soldered the box together. It is very dirty I know – once these are complete I am getting them silver plated. Well, that is the plan. I would love for them to be plated and complete for asessment, that would make me very happy.
This is the brush inside the box after I had filed all the edges smooth. You can see on the straight side, the wall is not straight through the differences in colour. That is where I have filed but the material is dinted – so that is something I need to fix.
This is the motif I have designed to use and saw pierce for the back plate that close the boxes. It is art deco inspired, with the symmetry and pattern. I think using the circles makes it more delicate and feminine, relating it back to the original objects that inspired me to make these pieces. Art deco is a style I am particularly fond of – and I think my own style reflects that as an influence.

I am at uni right now working on the outline for the vanity set. I need to make sure the outline is exactly the measurements I need it to be – as I will be working from this basic design. For example checking that the material thickness of the walls are fitting perfectly on the net.
I am working on the computer program Form Z. It provides me with a grid where I can draw the outline to exact measurements. I can also put in the material allowances.
This image looks complicated – the basic shape is actually the rectangle with the round ends. I more then likely have gone the most complicated way to get to this design on Form Z, but it makes sense to me and it is working great.
The purple to black outline shows the material thickness.
