I'm attempting to pick one subject to research more in depth. I think at this point I've narrowed it down to two seperate ideas. I'm trying to keep in mind that the design breif is to "examine the original impulses of body adornment." I want to also focus on something I could make with an interesting material. First, a topic must be chosen.
I'm really interested in buttons and their history. I guess this subject would be focusing on the history of American buttons, from manufactured military, uniform buttons, to fancy civilian buttons. Seems like the metal button would be a good starting point and something I could perhaps use as inspiration and maybe use the casting process to make a form with possibly a new material.

The second topic I'm interested in pursuing is Ancient Egyptian jewelry. I've found some really beautiful stuff in a few books and through some initial online searches. I think it'd be an extremely interesting subject to explore further that could inspire me to work in a variety of ways through a variety of designs.
At this point I'm trying to figure out which topic will retain my interest and motivate me to create something I like.
