YAY and NAY - Jewellery Design Crit - 11 March

1. YAY!

I like this felted piece because i imagine that it is soft and comfortable on the skin. It seems to me to be a piece designed by a person aware of the sensitivity of the human body and mind. It speaks of our craving for comfort, warmth and security.

I also like the jazzy bright colours, and the fact that it is made out natural fibre appeals to me, as i prefer to wear non-synthetic materials if i can. This fact makes the piece impractical, however, if you're looking for a piece to wear all the time. Felt, being made from animal hair, should not be wet on a regular basis, in the bath say, or the shower, as that kind of treatment would damage the fibre in the long run. This material may also become dirty and grubby.

2. NAY!

I don't like this plastic piece because it looks to me as though it would be uncomfortable. Plastic is light and very versatile, and a magical medium in terms of the range of colours it can be imparted with, but in spite of this i don't really like it because i don't enjoy the feel of plastic on my skin. This neck piece seems additionally to be cumbersome in terms of it's bulkiness, although the sheer size of the piece does flatter the feminine elegance of the model's throat and neck.
