Jewelry making patterns
Okay to create a jewelry pattern or to come up with your design to start carving or working with silver whichever you are doing. I usually start by grabbing an old sketchbook. Draw out exactly what you’re going to try to do, or a basic idea of what you want to see in the third dimension. Sometimes it takes many many thumbnail sketches is what we call them until you get happy with your design. And then you take tracing paper, as you see that I have done many times here. Laying that over your design that you’ve come up with. You can tweak it, whatever you decide to do is fine. And of course it will progress throughout the creating of the piece. Basically take the tracing paper, trace your design onto it, I usually cut that into a small square, and then lay that over your piece of wax if that’s what you’re carving or your piece of silver. And pinpoint through using pointillism to basically outline your design or pattern onto the material you’re working with. After that you take your saw and cut out your design and let it go from there.
