This project emerged form my 'Lined up & Scattered' post inspired by these two photographs. And what a journey it was. To recap, I based this project on two photographs of pigeons on railings I observe everytime I go past. They seem to be both lined up on the railings and to be scattered all around depending on any given circumstances. And that was what caught my attention.
It was not until I photographed few samples on a glass table that an idea of a title and the direction of the entire project started to take shape.
The samples seem to flow in the air (as pigeons would do) & I also observed the shadows of leaves on the wall that are in fact the table's decoration...
To fast forward, two outcomes started to unfold. One of a jewellery piece when the other would decorate and add to a wall deco. I am dedicating this post to the jewellery piece, a pendant on a chain I call 'Floating Leaves A'.
Since I photographed these few samples together in such an alighment, a vision of a pendant would not leave my mind. So I made another couple of leaves/pigeons, this time in different colour, connecting them into one piece, a pendant (right).
As if there were lined up... In a curve but still lined up...
Thinking of a chain, I went on making my own. Remembering the railings, I made two rows of stitches that I folded in half giving myself a comfortable width for my chain.
The next step was to centre and join the chain and pendant together and here we are...
This was quite a journey. Oh, how much do I enjoy cracking a 'nut'. And now, off to 'Floating leaves B'...
