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.
