About the final project for: Acrylic Jewelry with Volume

Upcycled Resin Jewelry

“You reached the end of your course, congratulations! I prepared a list of essential steps that you have to follow when creating a voluminous piece of jewelry using the layering technique. First of all, start connecting with the things that interest and inspire you, walk around your city, stop to look, become very attentive. And, in that process, you are collecting information. Also consult your sources of inspiration or references. Create a visual diary or conceptual mood board of those ideas. Visual diary

Secondly, make some sketches of the ideas that seem most viable and interesting to you. Don't worry about them being perfect, but about visually conveying what you want to convey. At the same time, look for materials that fit and transmit those ideas. Remember that the entire city can provide you with elements for this and that an unused or forgotten material can become a piece of design in your hands. Sketches
Choose the idea with the most potential, make notes on the sizes of the pieces, a detailed technical sketch of how you plan to assemble it, and put together a small prototype in cardboard or whatever material you have on hand that allows you to test sizes and colors. Technical diary
Thirdly, it was time to make your design. Mark and cut the pieces with a jeweler's saw. Remember that laser cutting is a viable alternative for certain materials if you want to cut a larger number of pieces. Marking and cutting
Fourthly, the pieces are assembled and finished with sanding and polishing. Then the terminals are placed and the piece is given a final cleaning. Remember that this can be done manually or with a polisher/sander for more advanced projects. Assembly

Lastly, ornamental or decorative appliqués can be used on the pieces using epoxy resin and UV light. Be creative in searching for alternative materials and remember that they can be synthetic or organic that are available to you in nature. Ornamental appliqués

First, that it is important to learn to look and be curious. Look for inspiration in everything around you. The more influences you have, the more original your projects will be.
