Body+Adornment+Project.

=Body Adornment project .=

In year 9 we design and make some jewelley pieces. We use copper, brass, nickel silver, sterling silver, lead free pewter, enamel and acrylic. When making our own pieces we must understand that sometimes, even when we are very careful our pieces will not work. This is not a problem in design and technology as long as we work out **why** our pieces failed. The D and T pieces above come about by working out what went wrong with the piece below.

Can we consider this piece a total failure? We dont think so as we learned so much by actually going through the process of making it.

The mistakes we made, we noted and LEARNED from them. We didnt make the same mistakes again and this has lead us to a successful piece, one the fulfils our specification. ||

=**"Those that don't make mistakes in Design and Technology dont tend to make anything".**=

Some examples of the rings that we have made.



We start this project by designing and making a key ring.



We then expand out to design and make other pieces of jewellery using similat techniques as the ones we used when making the key ring. Click the image below to see some our designs.
