My Response:
I looked at various techniques of jewellery creation in the UK and India then emalgamated them witin my intial designs.
Image No. 1-7:
The designs themselves are a combination of iconic imagery, symbolism, nature and history from both India and the UK.
Image No. 8 & 9:
Ring designs based on Indian Kantha (embroidery) craft and celebrating the long history of the textile industry within both country's. I combined William Morris textile designs and mixed kantha, embroidery techniques to create these 2 unique designs.
