29th of April

Had a crazy few days, was at the forge in up at Bringsty Forge yesterday so got little work done. Got one massive hang over but decided to get some work done. Had some tea and got alot of sketchbook work done so thought i would share some.

 This is the first drawing i got onto, i really wanted to draw up the item me and Mel got onto last week. Wanted to put alot more detail into and get some more knowledge about the shape, this knowledge lead onto these.

 First idea i got from was the idea of a hanging fruit bowl, i really like this idea because its simple but it includes all the items i want to get in there, the large rivet connection, the tension, the pulling down wards and the bending. This is going to be something i will be taking further.

 These are 4 ideas for stand alone candle holders, i tried to get as much of the elements of mine into it. Many of them were drawn up without the tension but i wanted to check out how it would look so i used masking tape to put the bolt in. I prefer the large bolt or rivet in the candle holder.

 This is my favourite of the candle holder designs, it was an idea Mel came up with so i thought i would draw it up and it is really awesome. I think the wall hanging element makes it a lot more similar to the ideas i have been having in my head.

Tomorrow i have a free day so i have decided i am going to use my lovely Plasticine and make a model up of one of my favourite designs, i don't know which but i will make one.
