Sycamore beauty

Sycamore necklace, why use real sycamore seeds? 

Because they become fragile and transient when they have started to decay. Things can be beautiful even even they won't last forever, forever is a long time. 

Organic rose petals | True beauty

A beauty in something that decays. It reminds me that we don't live forever nor can nature... Everything has an end, beauty will remain. 

Rose petal jewellery

  At the beginning of my studio practice i started playing around with real organic rose petals, i got a bouquet of roses from my boyfriend and I left them to dry out and decay they were so beautiful in how they decayed and change on colour and become so fragile to touch. At a touch they could crumble, I decided to start sewing them together to make necklaces. As a piece of jewellery doesn't have to last forever, in order to be valuable to me, in fact this is more precious as they were given to me.

Thoughts..

Transience is the whole idea for this part of my project. The idea of something temporary, in order for something to have value it does not always need to last forever... Value does not mean money to me it means something that I'll cherish whether it lasts for an hour or a lifetime. 

The idea of Transience

The whole of idea of having something that is transient, this is a Sketchbook page, photocopies of real organic skeleton sycamore seeds drawn over with pen to emphasise the lines and details.

Sycamore inspired designs

Finishing of some designs today in the studio.. Inspired by beautiful skeleton sycamore seeds, the beginning of something beautiful yet inspired by an organic material that has nearly died, that has decayed and become fragile and delicate.
