My concept is strength and protection and love. The onyx represents the strength and the two metals in a circle create the idea of protection and support. I use movement by overlapping the metals and balance as both pieces are symmetrical. Emphasis is another principal i used because the Onyx stands out. It is the first thing you see on the one ring. My strength was functionality because my rings are wearable and functional. An area I could have been more successful was creativity because my design on my second ring could have been more interesting with more design on the ring part.

My concept for my bezel pendant was how the seasons affect my mood and emotions. Which is why I made it in the shape of a raindrop. My dominant principle of design that I used for my piece was  balance because my piece was symmetrical. The criteria off the rubric that was my strength was design because I felt like my piece looked like a raindrop. The criteria off the rubric I could be more successful in would be craftsmanship because I felt like I could've made a few finishing touches.

My concept was time and the cut out circle represents a moment in time. My dominant principle of design was unity and asymmetry. The unity is in the circles in my piece and and asymmetry is in my cut out circle which creates imbalance. My strength was functionality because my necklace is wearable. My weakness was creativity because my design could have been more interesting and complex.

# data[].attributes.body
my concept is inner strength because my bezel is in the middle of a bunch of small indents and groves, and it shows that you can stand tall and strong even when there is rough things going on around you. I think emphasis is my dominant principal because of stone in the center of the peace catches your eye when you first look at it. i think my strength was my design because i feel like it turned out the was i designed it to look like, and something i think i can do better is construction, i could have done better on cleaning up the stuff around the bezel after i had soldered it to my metal

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was just a simple little stone necklace that wasnt supposed to be anything extravagant. My dominant principal of design was emphasis, the stone obviously the important part and I feel it really stands out be cause everything else is very simply and minimal. I feel like I did good with construction because its very stable and doesnt feel loose or fragile. I think I couldve had better craftsmanship because the bezel cup is just barely cockeyed and theres alot scratches from the sanding.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was youth and beauty which represents my little sister . My dominant principle of design is my dark emerald green colored stone which stands out from the rest of my ring .  I would have to say my strength in the rubric would be my concept because it means the most to me . I would say I could be more successful in my dominant principle of design .

# data[].attributes.body
my ring is 3 dimensional and for my pattern  i hit the brass peace with a hammer up and down the hole thing to create a pattern and for the copper peace i didn't create a texture i just left the bottom smooth

# data[].attributes.body
My concept is growth because flowers grow. My dominant principle is my blue stone. This catches people eye cause its the first thing that you see. I think I did best on design because the idea of it was nice. And something I could do better on construction cause I messed up the bezel piece.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept is this is based on a character I have, it’s a beetle to represent him. My dominant design principle is balance because it’s symmetrical on both sides. I think something i did well was my design, but I think I could do better on craftsmanship since the sanding isn’t great in places.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept is just a broken heart with a black stone. My dominant principal of design is probably artisan with my design because to me it was just cool. I think my strength was the creativity of the design and concept because it’s cool to me. My craftsmanship could’ve better because I rushed myself so all the details arnt as perfect as I wanted them.

# data[].attributes.body
i wanted my pendant to look kind of like a sun and i wanted the more orange-red stone to make it more sun like.

my dominant principal of design is symmetrical balance because it’s the same on both sides.

i think i did good on the craftsmanship because it turned out a lot better than i thought it would and i think i did good on the sanding

i also think i could do a little better with the craftsmanship because i don’t like some of the sides and i could’ve cut it out better.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was to make a frog for my sister, she likes frog and her favorite color at the moment is green so I thought this would be a cool way to combine the two! For the design principles I’d say that I used contrast because the stone definitely stands out. I think I did pretty good with the construction although the buffing could have been a little more even and shiny.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept for my piece is that someone no matter who you are or what you've done, whether that be good or bad, is watching over you and looking out for you. It could be god if you believe in one or friends and family. It could even be yourself. My domintant priciples of design are Balance, Pattern, and Emphasis. My balance is very symmetrical with the whole piece. My pattern is that is uses the same brass pieces and drilled hole on the band of the ring. Lastly, the Emphasis is obviously the stone in the center of the piece. It's the most dominant and it's the largest thing on the ring. My strength was craftsmanship because I feel that this is the best looking piece I've done. I think I could've done better with creativity because this piece is very similar to my last and I could've added some textures.

# data[].attributes.body
my concept was flora\nature i have asymetrical balance and emphasis its asymetrical with the pedals and emphasis on the stone its self  my strength is craftman ship i feel like i did a good job on all the steps something that could have gone better is trying to fit my original stone that i wanted in the bezel i think i used the wrong sized bezel cup

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of my piece was my dad. May is a big month for me because it’s the month my dad died and his birthday too. My dominant principal of design was emphasis because the stone in the center stands out because it’s blue on a all silver ring. I feel I did really good on the craftsmanship of the ring from the layers on the wings building it up making it 3D. I feel I could have worked on creativity because it’s a little simple like I should have added some texture to it.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was my old phobia with the small holes and my dominant principle is repetition because of the  small holes and one thing I did well was my design and one things I wish I did better was craftsmanship.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept of fantasy is you need to see it to believe so I made an eye ring. I used form to make it a 3-D shape. I used patternwith the matching brass pieces in each side of the hole. I used contrast with the different colored metals used on the ring. I think my strength is funtionality because I can actually wear this iece. Some thing I could work on is my craftsmanship because I messed up the soldering a little bit.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was a dagger. I would say that my pattern was the way the blade curves. The two metal make a good contrast. I think the Design is the strongest part because the string as the grip brings the ring together. The part that could have been more successful was how I cut the metal.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was a Hawwian flower. I would say my pattern is the petals on the flower .How the defiant petals contrast with the ring itself.  I would say my strengths are my soldering on the flower onto the ring . The areas I could be more successful in is my craftsmanship because I could have been way cleaner and made it more shiny .

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was the ocean and the sun. I used pattern in my texture to create a ocean wave affect. I used contrast with the circle and the rest of the piece. I used form with my circle and the ring itself. I think my strength was the Functionality of the ring because the rings fits really well on my finger and it's something I can easily wear. I think I could have been more successful at the Construction because I had a hard time soldering the circle on to my ring.

Fantasy. Ring finished piece (May 3, 2022 at 9_27 AM)

# data[].attributes.body
This ring is underwater based because when I think of fantasy i think of something that puts me in a calm stress free world which is the ocean for me. my first design for it was just texture with a band being able to move around it but after putting the texture I felt a band would cover it up so I changed it by cutting out small fish and starfish and connected it to the ring. I felt I used creativity good by coming up with this solution and making a creative and interesting ring. I felt I did the design good with changing it so it didn’t cover the design. The ring was a size smaller than what I wanted but I still like it a lot. I feel like the craftsmanship and construction was good but not the best one of the fish and star melted and the stuff left over from the fire was not all removed because it was hard to reach it and the connection of the ring was opened when it hit it so it went through the gap and there was a bit I missed on the top of it. It functional overall but runs a bit small on my finger so not

My concept was fairy wings its the first thing I think of when I hear the word fantasy. I did the cuff shape as form. I use pattern by using the circle pattern on the wings. I use different metal than I did for my other projects for my contrast. I think I did great on creativity because I think my idea came of really good. Something that I could do better is functional because the ring is bigger and does not fit my fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
my concept is fairy wings i decided to do this not only for fantasy but it remind me of the summer free wing and a free world to explore just like what fairies do  my contrast is the two metals i used my patten is the ripples in the wings and my form is wings  my streanght is  the planing of the project i think this becaues it looked alo better in my head somthing that could be more sucessful is the cratfman ship on the wings themselves as you cansee they are uneven and crooked.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was to create something based off of the dwarves in lord of the rings. I wanted to make a rocklike texture to show the mines they work in. I don’t think it came off like that so my craftsmanship could be better. I think I did well on the overall idea and how it looks!

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was a flower because it reminded me of the art work me and my sister made as kids. I used texture to make the flower look damage, I made the shape non-symmetrical and I feel the balance of the piece is the circle in the center. My strongest point was making each flower petal have a unique shape but I could have done better would have been making the circle in the middle more round.

# data[].attributes.body
For my pendant I chose a butterfly. I chose this because for me it represents metamorphosis. It also represents transformative power and change for me. I used texture shape and balance because I sanded & filed my piece. It symbolizes symmetrical balance because the wings are symmetrical. I'd say my strength was being innovative & my weakness was I could've been more expressive.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a bird to represent free-ness, and I did a bird because it is something that me my dad and papa have always loved. I used asymmetrical balance, to texture one side of my pendant I used a texture hammer with the piece that had circles on it and I used it till I got the texture I liked. I put a shallow dent in it to make it a little rounded. I think I did well on cutting my design out, but I feel I could have done better on buffing, I could have buffed more. I also feel I did well on sanding as well. I think my design was a good idea because instead of just the bird there are 10 small holes on the sides, and I feel like it gives you something other than just the bird to look at and it kind of pulled it all together.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was to make a bear, I wanted to focus on the strength of the bear. Which is why it ended up being so sharp and geometric, my goal was to show that strength. I used a scratchy texture on the back with a suddle dome shape. I wanted to make it less exagerrated because I felt like it might ruin the peice. I did very well on my concept and I think my craftsmanship could use a bit more work.

# data[].attributes.body
My piece is a Rafflesia Arnoldii. This type of flower is very poisonious and smells like rotting flesh. This flower is also a parasitic flower meaning it attaches to other plants or trees and drains the nutrients out of them which kills the tree. I used texture to try and make the accurate spots that cover the petals of this flower. I used balance to attempt at making it symmetrical but it didn't work put as well as I would have hoped. I could definetly improve on shaping and balancing.

I wanted to go for something more abstract shape to kinda show that not everything it perfect. It represents my life how not every thing goes the way you want it to. I used a smooth rectangle shape for my piece. I used texture all over my work. I think I was best at creativity and Concept because I tried to make it more like me as a person. I think what I could have done better was to focus more on the design.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose fire because it’s chaotic and unknown like my life. I created a curved life for texture and did the littlest curve i could do. I would say creative because I took something that is not good in ways that can destroy many things and took it into perspective of my life. there is plenty of room for my craftsmanship to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
For my pendant I chose a butterfly. I am an outdoorsy person and I think that a butterfly represents that love of nature and the femininity in nature. I used the texture hammer to make scale-like wings.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a leaf because I wanted to represent growing up and perseverance. I used texture by sanding and buffing it to make it smooth and shiny. I used the shape by hammering  it and making it round and not so dramatic.I used balance by using symmetry .I think creativity was my strength because I had fun with it and it made me proud with all the work I put into it . I could be more successful in craftsmanship because I could've done better filling .

# data[].attributes.body
I made a Flower to represent spring and new beginnings. I used texture around the center to add a sunflower affect to my pendant. I used a rounded shape and radial balance to create a sense of harmony. I think I did well on having a Creativity and Concept, but I think I could have had better craftsmanship. I could have cut smoother lines around the petals.

My concept for my piece was calming I wanted to do my favorite video game animal crossing that makes me feel relax. I sued the hammer for texture and I used the shallow bowl to add a slight curve I did good on design with texture and something I can work on is construction because my lines were not all straight and i could do better.

My concept was the importance of history and understanding the past with a velociraptor skull. I have asymmetrical balance, the texture is meant to be like quill knobs in bone that tell us some dinosaurs had feathers, and I used a lot of curves for the holes in the bone and the teeth. I think design is my strong suit, i really like how it looks, I think I could’ve done better on craftsmanship, it’s scuffed in a few places.

# data[].attributes.body
i made a mushroom with hearts to represent nature and love. i used a hammer with a bunch of lines on it for the texture and i used a shallow “bowl” to shape it so it wasn’t too curved. i think i could’ve done better with the hearts. i think i did good in sanding and filing.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a bass because it reminds me of the adrenaline that I get whenever I catch a fish. I added a couple of lines through the piece to give a rigid look. I made it an oval shape to fit around the fish. I think craftsmanship is my strength because there are tight corners and sanded well. Creativity could be more successful because I found the image online and didn't create it myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a bear to represent family. I used a texture hammer to add texture to do shape i used a shallow "bowl" to add a slight curve. My balance is asymmetrical because its not a mirror image. I think i did well on Creativity and Concept, i could've done better on Craftsmanship

I had a leaf to represent peace and nature and a cross to represent my religion. I used texture to by making it smooth and soft. I used shape by making it round, very little and settle. I used balance by making it symmetrical. Off the rubric I think my creativity and concept was really good because it was meaningful and cool to me. I could've had better craftsmanship because my sanding a buffing was poor.

# data[].attributes.body
My pendent is an elephant witch represents family to me . I used asymmetrical balance and I put light dents in my pendent to show the impeardies in my pendent and I put a shallow swoop To show that a Family changes. I think my strength wold be creativity and concept because my design could be anything but when you are told it is an elephant you can understand it right away. I think my weakest quality wold be my craftsmanship because you can visibly tell there is rough spots and the lines aren't perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a trout because my dad would always take me and brother to fish for trout and it's like a deep nostalgic connection I have with them I guess. I used a hammer to make texture and try to make it sort of look like it has scales. I tried using shapes inside the fish too sort of look like certain things, for example, a circle for the eye. I tried to use a symmetrical balance so it doesnt look heavily weighted on either side. I think I did good with the construction except for how I accidentally made a little scratch when shaping it. I feel like I could have done better with the creativity and concept part of the rubiric because I feel like I dont have the most interesting or best reason for making what I made

# data[].attributes.body
my  concept was an asymetrical sun and moon representing ying and yang
i used a spiral press to add texture
i felt good with craftman ship sawing sanding buffing i like the hands on things .

i feel like i could have the desing better it was difficult to cut and to buff.
