Jewelry 3 First Project!

I am really excited for this project and am happy with the direction that mine is heading.

The Project is all about containers: different types, and what they contain. To start, I made a bubble map of different kinds of containers and different things that the containers could contain.


From there, I went around and took pictures of all sorts of different containers. They can be found here.

For the other parts of our Creative Caffeine we had to gather objects and make our own objects.

I gathered things like a lightbulb, a small picture frame, and a mesh bag. I collected things that I thought were useful and that I actually kept things in.

The handmade containers were a little more challenging. I used Q-tips to make 2 different containers, one a box and the other a cone-like shape. Other materials that i used were toothpicks, duct tape, magazine paper, sugar packets, and straws. I think these all came out well and it was a fun exercise.

After I had seen and made so many wonderful containers, I started randomly sketching and these are the first things that I came up with.

This is where I realized that I was inspired by ornate picture frames and antique-looking birdcages, so I decided to go with it!
