This Jelly-ish shape will eventually become a brooch. I want the piece to be reminiscent of a Jelly fish without having to be too literal in its shape and colours. The Nylon monofilament (more commonly known as fishing line) is being used as the tentacles in this piece. Although my work has little to do with fishing in particular, the association that the nylon has with the ocean is obvious. Perhaps people will interpret the piece in their own way? seeing the nylon either as a convenient material for tentacles or as some conceptual link to fishing and the sea as a source of food?
The picture above shows the flypressed element after enamelling. The nylon has been looped through the holes and bunched up, I thought that this looked quite interesting, even tho its not exactly a tentacle
