I was searching on Klimt02 and found Denise's jewellery is intructed me a lots. Those her works and statement I found from the webite.
Denise's Statement:
Exciting materials, bright colours, sensual materiality and extraordinary forms deeply fascinates me.
This fascination is the basis, the essential mix, upon which my jewellery is growing.
For me, my works are like poems on the body, a poetry in objects.
Colours and shapes forming sentences and signs, playing and
communicating together and merging into new formations.
Through the effect of colours, materials and shapes, an independent, artificial and self-explanatory image
should develop and turn the wearer into a breathtaking painting.
Furthermore, my necklaces are about the unconditional beauty of colours,
shapes, materials and about decorative equality. My necklaces are made
of materials which fascinate me, of objects from everyday life,
consumption and the environment, which represents me, my culture and the
time I am living in.
I am working in different directions and searching for ways to combine
diverse disciplines like painting, installation, fashion, graphic and
jewellery into something new. That helps me to reflect "authentic me"
and the culture I´m living in.
The restrictions of conventional jewellery form the background against
which I develop my own, individual language of form, trying to find a
new definition of jewellery as well as a new place for it in today's
society.
Moreover, I am questioning the boundaries between precious and
non-precious. I am interested in the transformation of precious into
non-precious and of non-precious into preciousness. But the question
also is one about the ideal and intrinsic value of objects and their
importance. For me jewellery is an inner expression, individual
statement and an identification of the own personality.

Material research!!!
Test Material
1.RTV Silicone,ZA 40 Thixo
ZA 40 THIXO FAST - this is a very solid silicone rubber, which can be applied to the skin to create the shape of the face, hands or other parts of the body. Rubber vulcanised quickly at room temperature and accurately conveys the shape of the body of any initial model - better and faster than with any alginate.
Dragon skin 10 is a two part platinum silicone that has
unbelievable tear strength with an incredible 1000% elongation at break
its translucent so ideal for special fx props, appliances or a very
tough mould skin.
A flexible PU foam that cures with a "skin" Flex-Foam X can be used to
create soft puppets roll play weapons and props. It can be pigment with
so strong tints (dries off white)
1.RTV Silicone,ZA 40 Thixo
Unlike alginate forms, suitable only for a single use, flexible shell mold of ZA 40 THIXO FAST has been successfully used in multiple fills most complex and exotic products.
For the casting of final products manufactured in the form of ZA 40 THIXO FAST, you can use molding materials based on polyurethane, polyester and epoxy resins, gypsum, both conventional and polymer, various types of concrete, the mixture for the production of ceramics, and other similar materials.
ZA 40 THIXO FAST in primary form, is RTV silicone rubber, consisting of two components (base and catalyst), which is cured at room temperature.

2. Latex Rubber
Latex is natural rubber extracted from rubber trees found
mainly in Southeast Asia. To make this rubber usable as a
mold material, the raw rubber is usually processed with ammonia
and water. Latex is almost always brushed onto an original
model .
Advantages -- Latex is a one-component system (no
weighing necessary) that is ready to use right out of the
container. Latex is relatively inexpensive. Latex is an
elastic mold rubber and molds are generally thin-walled, strong
and exhibit good abrasion resistance. Because of its high elasticity,
a feature unique to latex is its ability to be removed from a
model like a glove. A latex mold will retain its shape after being
repeatedly rolled up and away (and turned inside out) from an
original model or casting – like a glove. Because of this feature
and its resistance to abrasion, latex is commonly used for making
“glove molds” in the reproduction of ornamental concrete (lawn
ornaments and statuary). Latex molds are also good for casting
wax and gypsum.
Disadvantages -- Low-cost latex products generally
shrink – on the order of 10 to 20% depending on product.
Making molds with latex rubber is slow and time consuming.
Brush-on molds made with latex require as many as 20
brush coats, with 4 hours of drying time between each coat.
Time factor for making a brush-on latex mold is ten days or
more. Many latex products have an ammonia odor (however,
there are new latex products on the market with lower shrinkage
and no odor). Latex molds are generally not suitable for casting
resins.

what am I focus?
Back to the induction project, I was using tracing paper and films to design. I was focus on repeating 3D hollow cube. And my cube is from origami. And also, I was focus the concept of my induction pieces: secret and mystery.
In the first module, I need clearly about what I am focus and my concept. Follow the induction module, I was think the advantage and disadvantage of my pieces. So I was decided pay attention on the form of the unit and repeating. As I am interesting in design wearable jewellery, I was going to research on the material which can make the form and can be wearable for a while.
As designed wearable pieces and the way to design my work.I think I should follow the fashion and design fashion jewellery.So I need pay attention on choosing the color of my works.
Including all the detail I was decided I will focus on straight line, color and structure.
