Beyond the Gallery #3

Took sketches and initial ideas in to see Hannah and Jess, the two BAFS students I want to work with. Emailed them to let them know I'd 'selected' them from the interested parties and they both seem really excited about the project, and it's infectious.

I must be aware that I'm probably being spoilt, in that I've got enthusiastic, passionate, young designers to work with and not jaded world-weary professionals! If I decide to do more of this in the future, I'm sure it'll be a different story. However, as a learning experience and a way to take my jewellery in a whole new direction, this is fantastic. Seems I was right on track with their initial thoughts about what I could create for them, and the discussions we've had about materials etc. have been really positive. While this will be a challenge, I think I've managed to keeo it to a manageable level, and in keeping with the pieces I wanted to be creating anyway.
