At the end of last semester I decided to completely change my project idea and start a new one. I really missed making jewelry so I have decided to make a set of jewelry that will look like the wearer is growing a coral reef on her skin. The base for the pieces will be made of copper, and the corals will be made of cast rubber (which will hopefully arrive soon). I have gotten a lot done this week:
6 hours cutting, sanding, filing, and forming copper for bracelet
1/2 soldering hinge joints
3 hours making modeling clay corals
2 hours mixing and pouring rubber to make molds
Next week I want to finish forming the bracelet and have the hinges working. If my casting rubber is delivered to me, I will also start making corals. I still want to make a few more models and make molds of them as well
