Folded bangle

This is the prototype for the folded bangle. Almost got all the design kinks are out and I'm happy with the results so far. Looking at it now, I see the possibility for a commercial piece where I use just the tubes and the rubber for a bangle or neck piece. It will be more marketable because it would not have all the sharp edges on this one and will be less hazardous.

Coffee

Finally finished, the handle now just needs to be attached. The polished outer edge should look good when you crank the handle. To add contrast I left the raw worked surface on the rest of it and darkened it by heating it. This will also go better with the rest of the coffee grinder which is made of cast iron.

Teaser

use this for teaser just crop most of it off so it does not look like jewellery

this is the forged section of the coffee grinder. I have decided to leave the forged texture on it and clean and polish the edges to give it a finished look

similar jewellery artist

Shaun Leane is an artist I have found that does very similar work to mine aesthetically. He also uses long curved shapes to make his work look elegant and beautiful. He also likes to put a sinister edge on his work while still keeping it beautiful.
When I first found him I was very disappointed that there was someone who did work so similar to what I was doing. That is why I have to push my work further so it will be different to what he does.

How my jewellery should be displayed

At my third year exhibition I had 'glass' cubes staked on top of each other, on each level I had jewelery displayed. It worked well because you could walk around it and see the pieces from all angles. what i did not like about it was that the bottom levels had to be empty because it was not comfortable to view them because the were to low. I am happy with the boxes and will use them again but I want to eliminate the bottom levels, i could put them on stands or hang them from the roof or a wall.

arm for coffee grider

I am making an arm for an old coffee grinder it will be made out of stainless steel with a wooden handle I want it to look like a new interpretation of the old one that cannot be fixed. it must still work well with the design of the grinder.
