Project goal: Create a series of unique artistic sketches (drafts) for jewelry micro-macrame using natural stones. I need ideas and visual concepts, not technical weaving diagrams or calculations of the number of knots.
Stylistics and directions (to choose from):
Boho-asymmetry: Off-centered designs, smooth "flowing" threads to one side, lively shapes, asymmetrical decorative elements around the stone.
Elvish style / Flowing lines: Smooth, rounded, organic curves reminiscent of intertwining vines, sea waves, leaf textures, etc.
What needs to be done: Develop 3–5 variants of necklace sketches in color.
Format: neat colored sketches (hand-drawn on a tablet or high-quality marker/watercolor sketches).
Requirements for the sketch:
Focus on the stone: A natural stone must be at the center or base of the composition (the stone and thread color can be chosen in any combination for inspiration). The photo shows options for stones on a linen grid (1cm), each stone should have a basic wrapping (2-3 mm).
Texture of the threads: The drawing should visually imitate the plasticity of the threads (i.e., the pattern consists of lines, braids, curls, and smooth transitions, not solid filled areas).
Color solution: The sketches must be strictly executed in the palette of my materials (photos of thread and stone colors are attached to the task). Please use these shades to create harmonious combinations.
Detailing: Adding small accents to the sketch is welcome — beads or sequins or even thin chains embedded in the smooth lines of the threads.
Materials I provide (in the attachment):
1 Photo of my stones (to understand their shape and color).
2 Photos of the available thread palette.
3 Photo of my finished product (exclusively for understanding the scale, thread thickness 1mm, knitting thickness 2mm — this style does not need to be copied).
I leave the choice and combination of materials to your taste. Therefore, I must warn that most of the labradorite stones change shade depending on the angle of light. If you choose them, I will send a video with the selected stones :)
Submission format: Files in JPEG/PNG format in good resolution.
