platinum piece

This necklace made from platinum, I just use the wire to go through the plate and hold on to the neck. This only a prototype I will make it in silver piece.

Toothpick Earring design sketch

This earring I adopted two layers of sliver plate, and use toothpick stab through these two layers. Two layers of sliver plate can represent more three-dimensional feeling.

Toothpick & Sliver Test Pieces

This test piece was made by toothpick and 0.5mm sliver plate. It inspired from last toothpick and paper test pieces. I want to use this form to make different type of jewellery.

In the process, I found the sliver plate is too thin, can not represent the third dimension. So I will choose more thick sliver plate in my following work.

Half Year Display

From the beginning of this year, I chosen my topic is Chinese design transform. I try to find the way that combine the traditional Chinese culture design and Chinese contemporary design elements into my design.

This topic that I chosed is quite wide. What is the Chinese design? What is China? What is Chinese style looks like? Although I am a Chinese, but I still feel confusion. Today's designer said: Chinese culture is still looking for order from out of order.

Before end of this term, my most inspiration get from the Chinese traditional and contemporary architecture. I will continue improving my design in next term.

Toothpick Test Pieces

The inspiration still from the "Nest" stadium. This time I want to make more three-dimensional, I try to created my own pattern from that stadium, so I optional insert the toothpicks to papper, I try to choose the interesting part from there. Then I re-combine them together.
This kind of pattern, give people more stand out, I think it will more interesting than normal pattern what I made before. The toothpick is made by bamboo, it will feel more Chinese style.

My 2008, My Olympiad -- 2

When people ask the "BirdNest" stadium designer, did you think about the Chinese culture elements in this design? Designer said: yes, we adopt the pattern from Chinese porcelain, the stadium form like container, can involvement lots of people inside. These are all related to Chinese culture.

By the way, this stadium design by Herzog and De Meuron Architecture AG, Switzerland, and China Architecture Design Institute.

2008 Olympiad wood ring

This year is Beijing Olympic Games, Beijing is my hometown, Chinese people built a lot of new stadiums for this great games. "Birdnest" stadium is my favorite architecture. So I call these two rings-- My 2008.
The inspiration of the ring get from the "Birdnest" stadium. I like the pattern on this architecture. I added new silver layer with the pattern on the normal wood ring.
When I finish these two rings, I found a lot of deficiencies, the pattern is too flat. Due to the whole stadium structure is very three-dimensional. So I still need to improve my design more three-dimensional, to display the graceful of whole architecture.
