Written reflection
Profile of Non-Human response, Emobied lessons :
The Non-human that I chose is my dog Bingo. I admire his positivity, energy, and lovingness growing up. And although he is not by my side anymore, I still remember the happiness and playfulness he brings to the people around him. Therefore I want to create an object that brings out the child-like qualities to people. Something that a person would wear on a jolly day and spreads positivity.
I have always wanted to explore making jewelry and accessories with delicate details, therefore I chose to create a set of earrings and a headband. I believe the size of the earring and the color palette I chose for the headband support my idea of creating something cute and child-like. Throughout the process, I have learned technical skills such as creating small detailed shapes from wire, 3D building with hot glue and different knot constructions. And one lesson that I found most rewarding is developing the skill to make earring attachments from wire. Design as such is often overlooked from its complexity.
