Sketches from the Heart - Process and Thoughts

After feeling very inspired from the "Introduction to Jewelry Design" lesson research (I looked at tons of jewelry and art!),
I started out mapping my soul topics -

Things I hold dear and that would be meaningful for me to design a piece of jewelry (or other artwork!) from:

Then, I started settling on one or two topics and created some free-flowing, no-eraser sketches from them:

After then settling on a specific idea, I evolved that idea through a simple coloring approach, utilizing shapes and inspiration from all the previous lessons:

As a little bonus idea boost, I asked ChatGPT to give me a suggestion on how to develop my ideas further, and it came up with this nice mock-up page:

All in all I'm really happy with how these came out - I feel now I would have lots and lots of ideas to either bring into 3D for printing, or to realize in handcraft ways!

Also, I reconnected with my inner spontaneous creative visual expression and playfulness, which felt like a spiritual wellness massage.

Excited to see what you come up with!
