- Used photoshop to create images from fur materials.
- I used these images to make metal etchings and a photo etching with.
- I learnt how to do metal casting
- From vector images of fur patterns that i created on Illustrator, i made brooches on the laser cutter from plastic perspex.
- Final pieces -
- I made a photoetched plate from a pattern that i created on Photoshop, that I hand polished to create a much better effect.
- I made a Japanese stab binding book with tracings of patterns i made on Photohsop.
- I made a brooch that was part plastic laser cut piece and part etched metal that I'd curved on a mould. The difficult thing about this was that I had to drill the holes to attach them both to each other with pins without going off centre on the plastic or else they both wouldn't fit.
Some of my strengths -
I was able to follow my ideas through to metal work successfully from Photoshop work.
I created a range of patterns to choose from on Photoshop.
I manged to try out a variety of methods working with metal and other materials.
once a tutor had shown me how to use the laser cutter a few times, I managed to work it by myself.
I managed to create a beautifully finished etched plate.
I sold my plastic and copper brooch in the book fair, which was great news.
Some Weaknesses -
I kept on breaking the blade on the metal hand saw, which was frustrating.
When I finished creating my metal pieces i found it quite hard to polish them using a machine.
