Compare Solid and Open Geometric Brooch Shapes

NOTE 01

Choose a starting point

Choose two geometric pieces of similar scale if possible, one solid and one open. Close both clasps and set them on a clean neutral fabric with consistent light.

NOTE 02

Compare the arrangement

Photograph the solid piece first. Note the visible area it covers, the strongest reflection, and how much empty background remains around it. Keep these as observations rather than rules.

NOTE 03

Look at the difference

Replace it with the open shape in approximately the same position. Look through the opening at the fabric beneath and notice whether the cloth pattern or fold becomes part of the focal point.

NOTE 04

Keep a useful reference

Save the two photographs together and write which version you preferred in this setup. Keep actual material and care information separate, because an open outline does not identify how the piece was made.

Before you go.

What is the most useful detail to remember?

Use similar-sized pieces when possible so the comparison is mainly about solid and open space.

What should I establish before starting?

Choose two geometric pieces of similar scale if possible, one solid and one open. Close both clasps and set them on a clean neutral fabric with consistent light.
