Intent
I searched for images of snakes in order to determine which type of snake I would like to favour for the final working snake. These were also the models that I would use for my sketches. Although the necklace was originally inspired by and named after the blue-eyed Lucy strain of the ball python, the ball python is a bit more bulky. However, the ball pythons are rather bulky in shape. The decision to use the Colubridae was made through observation. This snake does not have a clear symbolism, unlike the cobras, and its long, slender body and even proportions are more in keeping with the image of the snake and the pearl chain.
I learnt preparation techniques in class and my teacher lent me a preparation tool. I am going to prepare the material for making the snake’s head out of wire, using traditional preparation techniques and tools.
