Diploma in Wax part 2!
I can't believe we are on week 7, so we have covered quite a few projects already. I have worked hard to keep up to date with the projects but am a bit behind with posting what I have made so far π!
So here are the projects I made in week 2 - a ring and a pendant with settings for stones. The ring is a bombe shape, one of my favourites - I just love the sculptural, tactile quality that can be achieved in the wax. This will be cast in silver and I will set the stone next term.
The spiral pendant is inspired by the shiva shells I used last year in some of my pieces and also the spiral embellishments on ancient jewellery. After some tweaking, I'm pretty pleased with how the concept has turned out. This will be marked in wax.
And continuing the spiral theme, the final piece is my pendant/charm from week 1. This will be marked in wax, but with a bit of refinement, I think it is a design that I might develop as it would work really well in silver. Let me know what you think! Xx
