Primary Research - The alchemy jewellery.

During the process of creating my final images, I am considering how i could take these characters and adapt them into 3D and jewellery product design. I realise that with the time left the project there won't be as much time to explore this process as i would have liked, but as mentioned in earlier research, its something that i am interested in understanding. 

At this point, its really about proposing an idea, and in order to consider my work in this 3D form i need to understand more about the process and how this would be possible. 

Questions i asked: 

How do you create a 3D version from a sketch? 

do you need to draw various angles? 

on what software do you use?

what materials?

what machinery?

I have spoken to my uncle and have been lucky enough to get a first hand insight into the process. Its been really interesting learning about how a sketch - an initial idea can be transformed from paper into a solid puta piece of jewellery. Adapting my work to 3D is something that i feel i would perhaps like to incorporate into my practice in the future and this has been a really nice starting point. 

From what i have discovered today, i hope to take characters i have created through my visual journal and propose some jewellery and product ideas.

- Looking into the future of my practice, i don't believe that creating jewellery and products will be appropriate for everything that i make, but it is something i would like to try, and i feel that it is especially fitting when exploring historical subjects such as greek mythology for which i have developed a great interest in, and is a topic i do wish to explore further.
