Adapting my designs - for 3D

After gathering some really interesting primary research on the process of jewellery making / modelling process i wanted to take some of my characters from my final designs and adapt to become 3D. / jewellery
Its something that i really wished to develop further within the project but unfortunately just haven't had the time to explore this as much as i would have liked. Its something that i perhaps realised i wanted to look into too late within the project and would have benefitted me more approaching this from the beginning. However my initial interest won't stop here, and i think that gathering this research will be highly useful for future briefs. Its something that i wish to explore further into the summer.
Although these sketches are just initial roughs, I have felt really inspired and come up with a lot of concepts and different ways of interpreting and adapting my character designs. In understanding more about the process through research, i also feel more confident that my sketched designs could be made into metal models with the right direction.
- i am unqualified to do so - and doing this myself is perhaps something that will never happen! never the less, considering how a design of mine could be taken and made into a product by someone else is a possibility to consider. - and is something that could be very possible in the industry.
- Perhaps my main contribution in doing something like this would be to come up with the design - the initial rough and in creating the components on illustrator?
- However i am still very interested in the hands on process.
- An initial model i started creating.
- cyribys - / kraken wrapped around a glass bottle. - continuing with the sea theme. - ornament.

- I think if i want to look at 3 D there is still the option of me creating pieces by hand - not detail jewellery - but clay models of my designs instead. - such as candle holder, etc - through oven drying clay.
- this is something that i found really fun, and it is accessible to me. - its ideal for me to explore over the summer. - Developing my skills when working in 3D.

- I think creating and adapting illustration into 3D products and jewellery is quite unique, and would open up a who new audience for my work. Jewellery and products are not something that will suit every subject i explore, but is especially relevant and relatable to mythology and ancient themes which i want to continue to push in my work. - greek inspired jewellery and products are very popular and in demand as seen through research.

Here are some examples proposing how i could take some of my characters and adapt them into 3D products.
- 3D - mugs
- ornaments - candle holder
- Jewellery
Madusas head - bowl? - jewellery holder?
patterns printed onto a bowl.

- initial attempt at creating a polymer clay version of my 'Charybdis' - surrounding a glass bottle. - unfinished but i enjoyed re creating the charter and adapting into a 3D design.
