Custom Wedding Party Jewelry

Here's some custom jewelry I did for someone for their wedding party.

A lesson from an old sketch

I was looking through an old sketch book the other night and I saw this sketch I had done that looked kinda cool. Here's the scrap:


But it was interesting to think about what I was trying to get across at the time I drew it. I was trying not to be so normal, maybe a little more surreal. Just get really bizarre where anything is possible. So the product was this weird mutated alien creature with an oversized extra-jointed arm, no face and a head on a long neck coming out of his shoulder. It looked kind of like a comic book style villian's henchman.


So, the lesson I gleaned from going back and looking at an old sketch: Don't put things where you expect them to be and don't limit yourself into thinking they have to be proportionate or symmetrical. Just, generally, be more creative.


So it inspired me to incorporate that way of thinking into a pendant I made out of Sculpey. Here's what I came up with:



I think the end result looks rather lovely and unexpected, but I still need to let my creativity go a little more.
