close up of long necklace for 'Local is Lekker' exhibition
I was really happy with the way the resin came out, even though some colours ran into each other, I think it actuallty looks better that way, it looks more natural and less planned (because it wasn't). That's one aspefct when it comes to resin, sometimes it can be a bit difficult and messy to work with, and the final outcome could be something unexpected, but depending on which way you see it, it could be a good or bad thing. The resin here is actually is little more translucent than shown in the pictures. when the light shines directly on it, theres a subtle 'glow' and the colours look a lot more vibrant and warmer.
Long necklace/ neckpiece for 'Local is Lekker' exhibition
silver, resin, beads: wood, coral, turquoise
As usual, most of the jewellery pieces I do start off with a sketch. This is one of the later sketches for the necklace that I had in mind. Even though it's meant to be a 'final sketch', sometimes the idea looks better on paper or in my head. So I try to stick to the final sketch as much as possible, but as with this necklace, the piece ended up a little differently, but the intended effect is still there.
