April Faculty Art Class

This month's class was a jewelry making class. The teacher's ordered the shape of ring and pendant that they wanted to make and were then able to choose their color and pattern.

The pattern was rubbed onto a piece of colored foil that had been cut to fit the jewelry blank. Once the pattern was on the metal, they used a burnishing tool to rub the color off of the raised part of the pattern.

The metal was attached to the jewelry blank with a small piece of double sided adhesive.

Resin was added as the final touch.

My faculty is extremely creative and used beads and other trinkets to add to their pieces.

My Personal Artwork

I love summer! I have a chance to work on my own artwork, which I don't really have an opportunity to do during the school year. This summer, I have been experimenting with metal embossing. I have been making a lot of jewelry (pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings) and also wall hangings.

Here are a few things that I have done.

I started by making just pendants and rings. This is a periwinkle blue pendant/ring combo.

I experimented with mixing 2 colors in 1 piece. Here is a blue/violet pendant.

Then I started making entire sets- pendant, ring, earrings, bracelets.

This is a piece that I just finished for my bathroom. 8 squares with the same pattern, alternating purple and green with a $2 frame that I refinished. Pin It
