MY DESIGN PROCESS FOR WORKING WITH UNIQUE ELEMENTS: VINTAGE KEYS

(Part 1: Designing amongst Unique Elements)

It’s been a spell since I’ve updated my spider web log therefore I stance I’d percentage amongst y'all what I did amongst the vintage keys that I works life this past times summertime at the Blue Mountain flea marketplace (Saylorsburg, PA). I knew these keys were going to upcycled into something special, as well as it was going to survive some type of cervix or wrist jewelry.

Designing

When I’m creating a novel blueprint I normally start out past times kickoff choosing the principal elements/materials. For instance, I mightiness come upwards across some outstanding gemstone beads that actually appeal to me as well as normally the wheels volition start turning correct away nigh what other kinds of stones or materials they mightiness move good amongst inwards a design.

Other times I’ll survive working amongst some unique object, equally inwards this case, the keys, as well as and then my blueprint procedure is a fiddling combat different. When designing unopen to i special, unique element, that chemical component is known equally your focal element, or focus of your design…the kickoff matter that attracts your eyes…and y'all construct your blueprint unopen to that.

My Design Process for Working With Unique Elements

Here is how I become nigh my blueprint process: I normally volition continue the special unopen to me on my workbench, as well as although I’m non nevertheless using them or designing amongst them, I’m looking at them a lot as well as at that point, I simply permit them sort of sit down inwards my hear as well as normally inside a twenty-four hours or 2 I accept a pretty practiced stance of what other materials I desire to purpose amongst them as well as what type of blueprint I am going to brand amongst them. At this point, I’m looking at the keys as well as studying things such equally their color, shape, size as well as texture.

When choosing my secondary materials inwards a design, I recall nigh whether the materials volition complement each other, as well as I also recall nigh whether they volition move together to brand a whole…meaning, that when y'all await at the design, y'all experience a soothing aesthetic whole, equally opposed to seeing something that is discordant, choppy, or awkward. Just similar when y'all hear to a slice of music as well as y'all uncovering a incorrect Federal Reserve notation – good the same goes amongst blueprint likewise – y'all desire your blueprint to flow, as well as do a feeling of unity…sorta similar music for your eyes.

After my secondary materials are chosen I lay everything out, as well as ofttimes moving pieces unopen to similar a jigsaw puzzle, volition move on the blueprint until I experience it is organized the agency I like, as well as alone as well as then volition I start to fabricate it- seat it all together!
