After crowdsourcing my design, the general consensus was that: a) my original design was extremely personal, and therefore not easily accessible to the general public, and b) the way in which the vial was handled was unsuccessful. With these two things in mind, I have decided to alter my design in the following ways:
creating a wearable piece automatically opens the piece to more people
the wearer now becomes the object to be "protected", eliminating the vial completely
I had originally planned on a chainmail inspired piece, though in design review, several people agreed that the many connotations of chain might confuse the intent of the project. I plan on incorporating gauze yet again, both as a means of protection and as a tie in to the milky color of the medium injection plastic. My forms are taken from my original die, a smaller ovular shape as well as a larger, medallion-influenced piece.
