concept development about the colour BROWN

When i first heard that my colour is brown, my first instinct was 'wood'. simply thought,'let's use WOOD as a main material'.
i goggled the colour 'brown' and it is the colour of a mixture of red, orange, rose or yellow with black or grey. Common connotations are soil, Africa, coffee, chocolate, maple leaf, skin, earth, thanksgiving, stone, caramel, wood, hair or eye...etc.

i was quite interested in coffee & chocolate and maybe their fragrance...maybe i can make some little containers which have lots of holes so that smell comes out???? or simply coffee/chocolate shaped wearable pieces out of wax carving???then STUCK. ok...what about hair or eye?...maybe cultural backgrounds' differences? then STUCK...
i came back to WOOD and their annual ring (time ring). i wanted to apply this fact to human. Individual character can be the wrinkles, the line of palm, finger prints or scar... then i kinda of realised that i already designed/made once before with the similar concept...

i felt a bit boring so i seriously needed a break to empty my brain for a while thinking colour brown...i changed the way of thinking colour 'brown' and started to think what/how or when the colour change to brown...i also had to consider my current condition, pregnancy, for this exhibition using simple techiniques with home friendly tools and equipments...

we often think or say that brown is the colour of autumn...
when leaves get old, they get really dry, brown, fragile & old looking...
when flowers are wilted, they also become dry, fragile & brownish...
then it continues to the other factors...
when paper gets burned, colour changes to brown...
when bright colour fabric or any other materials get dirty, it becomes yellowish brown dirty looking... etc etc etc....
endless elements were stuck into my idea...and i liked it.

First experiment was the reticulations which is well associated with the fact, burning paper - melting metal. i could achieve the satified pieces when i was still at work in Mar fortunately. i initially wanted to use the reticulated sterling silver as a part of pendant for the neckpiece but i might make it as a brooch...never know until the end... then casting for the shapes of leaves & flowers are still on process...they will be two or three neckpieces...i was playing around with the string the other day for the neck part...and i hope i find the way soon....soonish...

our first photoshot is scheduled on the 5th of May... my baby due date is the 27th in same month. i don't want to be freak out yet... if anyone has a idea for beautiful sting work or twining (not weaving though), please let me know.

my making story to be continued...
