'Something Given'
For the new brief Data I decided to look into the word and its full meaning. After doing some research I found that the definition of Data comes from the Latin meaning 'Something Given'.
'Something Given' - I have decided to set my project based on the idea of all the jewellery that has been passed down through out my family.
Selected pieces of my family's necklace collection
I want to explore the detail and the meaning behind each piece of jewellery. I think that this will fit well with my new textiles world - construct, due to the fine detail and unique ideas behind each piece. I will start by taking photos of the jewellery individually and then in groups acording to what sort of jewellery they are. From this I plan to work on small and large scales of using different materials to draw these images, to help develop the project further.

Scanning Jewellery
After taking multiple photos of selected pieces of jewellery, I wanted to capture there image in a different way. I used the scanner to capture some of the finer detail on the jewellery.
