Jewelry Making vol.7 (Summer Intensive Course – Mariko)

9月に入ると急に涼しくなり、秋の気配が漂うフィレンツェはとても過ごしやすいです。今週からまた新しい作品に取り掛かります。 モザイク風の細かく砕いた石を使ったピアスと、同時進行で厚みのあるリングを制作していきます。 ピアスはまた自分で作りたいデザインを考え、それに合った鉱石を買いに行きました。コーラルのオレンジ色とアズライトのブルーのコントラストはフィレンツェの夕暮れ時の空の色合いから着想を… [Read more]

Jewelry Making vol.4 (Summer Intensive Course – Mariko)

先週の続きです。2枚のプレート状のパーツを裏側から打って立体感を付けました。 この写真はパーツを重ねて置いているだけで鑞付けする前の状態です。 立体感を付けたことにより中心の2枚の接着面になるパーツにも僅かに歪みが生じるので、その部分だけを平らに戻すのが意外と大変な作業でした。 熱して中心部分だけ金槌で打つなどして隙間なく綺麗に鑞付けできるよう調整しました。 下のパーツと真ん中… [Read more]
