The answer to  research question

I plan to answer research question by using techniques that are African influenced techniques such as punching,form folding,forging. I want to explore using different types of metals such as silver,brass,copper. I also want to explore with colour in my jewellery by using different types of metals i will get variety of colour and by using  texture on my metal it will give it a nice feel.

Africa

In my personal project I explored different things with my inspiration being Africa so everything i have done in my personal project was based on africa. the reason for me to choose Africa as my inspiration for my jewellery is that i connect with Africa its were i find my inner peace.what I am trying to achieve is to create jewellery that has an African feel to it and try to use techniques that are influenced by africa. my aim is to create jewellery that when you it know that it has some african feel on it somehow because i am very fond of Africa cause thta were my roots are.
