Hey.
Once again you have been a busy bee and I like your ideas. Unlike you, I didn’t get very far from last time at all. I thought about fire and wearing fire (but that is also wearing danger as the wearer could get ‘fired’). I didn’t think of wax and when I saw your sketches, I thought that it could be interesting to have a candle brooch (for example), which you light and allow to burn to the point of perfection, meaning when you, the wearer, thinks it is at its most beautiful. Perhaps it starts out stiff, white and odd looking, but as the wax melts, the whole piece re-shapes organically. I think I need to draw this idea. The wax would also create a mess, probably, and I like that too. Jewellery isn’t normally allowed to make things dirty and messy, especially the wearer.
I did find this on the internet yesterday, linked to fire, heat, etc. The text for the image is underneath.
“This porcelain bowl was found among the ruins of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb explosion on 6 August 1945, at the end of World War II. It is a typical piece of Japanese tableware used for pickles and chutneys. The heat of the nuclear explosion caused the glaze of the bowl to melt, and it has fragments of brick and other pottery embedded in it. The family which used the bowl would have been obliterated by the blast; some 80,000 people were killed immediately and a further 60,000 were to die from radiation sickness and other after effects.”
