Personal Design Hooks

The Plat Africa Competition brief was to make a piece of jewellery using the theme of Metamorphosis. The only limit that was set is as a student we are limited to 20g of platinum only and we were given design hooks to refer to directly.

I was nudged to look at my bench to find my own design hooks for inspiration. I eventually settled on my skeleton leaves as they have been the one aspect of design I have the most connection to. After brainstorming some ideas I want to try to replicate the leaf skeletons or recreate the fibres that knit together to make paper.
