Armor Project - Ashley J

1) the message that my armour is trying to convey is to keep a distance. Not in a scary or non-social way but in a "don't touch me" way ....if that makes any sense :)
2) I don't think that mine is very stereotypical. If I really did not want people touching me I would have made an entire suit of armour. It depends on the individual and for me personally, for instance, I'm ticklish around my neck so I made sure part of the piece covered the side of my neck.
3) I would hope that the armor I designed would protect me. I added spikes and shattered mirrors to convey the message of "look but don't touch." It would obviously protect me physically because it shields that side of my body but it would protect me emotionally in that it would give me ease of mind that  no one could get close enough to touch me.
4) and 5) The piece rests on the shoulder and I will add a chain to connect the collarbone section to the upper neck piece. I used black paint and then glazed the entire piece to give it a high gloss shine. Then I added spikes, broken mirrors, and various chains and stones to give it visual appeal.
