Trick me, Try me - Merchandise Design!
Added 2018-04-27 20:00:00 +0000 UTCI was going to save this for May, ahhhh I can't help myself.
Here's another design! Trick me, Try me. I'm still working this one out. Animals paired with rocks is quickly becoming a bit of a theme. I don't know if this, Fool's Gold, and anything else I can think up, would be a series per-se... But I'm definitely figuring out what I like to work with, and what themes speak to me. That feels really good.
Fool's Gold came to be sort of on a whim, but with this one, I'm slowing down just a bit, trying to pick the stones and colors deliberately.
Gemstone meanings are not something I'm well versed in, so I did some reading. So far I have Blue Kyanite and Sunstone, for protection from manipulation, and maintaining one's boundaries, respectively. I had Hematite, but I think I'll make it very subtle, or ditch it entirely.
Hyenas as a subject just felt right. I want this design to speak power, but for the kind of power to be up for interpretation. Is this defense, or offense? Are the stones symbolic, or ironic?
What do you think?
