Houseware Jewelry?!

I was going through old magazines looking for design ideas for my senior project and enameling...color schemes, forms, textures, etc. In Lucky magazine I came across this fierce porcelain bowl. It's weird to describe a porcelain bowl as fierce because typically porcelain objects are thought of as beautiful and delicate, but this bowl totally is fierce with the spikes and draped chain.

Sarah Cihat and Michael Miller are the artists who make these beautiful porcelain bowls. They also make vases and chandeliers among other things that are also dripping with chain. To me this looks like jewelry for houseware...something to make these everyday objects more interesting and exciting. I love the idea of making jewelry for objects, as opposed to humans.

Place your drawing over the aluminum foil and gently "draw" over it with a round point object, like the other end of a Sharpie. This will make a slight impression that you can use when laying down the hot glue. Don't press too hard, or the impression will be to deep and sharp and the edges of it will show up on the hot glue when it is peeled away.
