Rhino-Shapeways Container CLUTCH

Container 2/ “Beauty” Clutch

     The assignment was to create a container, by utilizing Rhino and Shapeways. The container itself had to be based off of the first metal container we created by hand. My original container was the locket pendant that contained lipstick, as I wanted to create a piece of jewelry that can also be functional. So, for my second container I created a clutch, similar in shape to my first container. When I thought about what it should contain, I wanted to tie it to my original container and the lipstick it contained. When I think about lipstick, and makeup, in general, I think about beauty and the idea of our society that a woman has to be beautiful in order to be successful and happy. So I decided that my clutch would contain “beauty”, as a “key” to success and happiness. To represent beauty I made a collage of eyes and lips – the facial features that we first think about, when we think of beauty.  I placed the collage inside the clutch, as a lining on both the interior walls.
