Sketchbooking
In the studio the start of the year brings breathing space after the Christmas rush and room to work on neglected tasks like tool maintenance and organising our paperwork. But the thing I love the most is developing new designs. Since January I’ve had my sketchbook by my side to try and develop some new jewellery I’d like to make this year. I’ve been using different mediums to work through ideas to hopefully come to organic design conclusions that can translate into gold. I’ve been calling them Thinking Drawings.
I started by looking at branches then focused more on leaves. I haven’t reached a conclusion with the new designs yet but I thought I’d share my sketchbook progress so far.
Since the lockdown I’ve been fitting work around homeschooling my boys and my sketchbook has been neglected but I’m hoping that this post will encourage me to pick up my pencil again.
Stay safe
