You removed one of my projects due to being out of school for three weeks because of mono. Completed 3/5 projects.

This was my unfinished project although I liked the I was going with I did not have as much time to complete it obviously. I had the goal of created into a basket. I was trying to weave the wires through the bottom of the square but ran out of time. I would have spent more time on the actual 3-D printing to give it more texture or shapes to it instead of just having ovals.

This was my favorite project I created this semester although it took me the longest. I created the Chicago skyline to go along with the theme of Illinois like my first project (below). I liked creating this because creating the shapes for the building was a challenge for me. The one thing I would have changed about my project would be trying to incorporate some type of metal/wire into it.

This was the final product of the cuff bracelet.

Although there is an actual way to do patina, I was not aware of it at the time so I did the "lazy man" patina by burning the metal and cleaning off, leaving the grooves darkened and buffing out the higher points. I then hooked the chain through the drilled holes on the end of the project.

Final result of step 8. This is a tutorial on how to make chains.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1cJu7TOo5c

After many attempts of soldering, I decided to try a different method instead. I created a chain link in the shape of a Y with the pattern 2 links hooked to 3 links and so on. The purpose of the Y shape was to fill the thinner space on the cuff.

This is the type of hammer I used to create the hammered texture, I used to "double sided hammer with ball peen".

Before shaping the bracelet, I hammered the printing stamps into the metal to create the coordinates, and I also drilled holes on the ends of the project for the chain. Then I used one of the metal shaping horns to shape the cuff, but not making it completely circular.

After completing the sawing I filed the edges using a small file to smooth them out and to make sure that it was not sharp. I removed the tracing paper and removed the excess glue.

I glued the tracing of the state onto sheet metal (22 gauge), and let that dry overnight. To keep the piece stable while sawing it, I used a C-Clamp and a wood block with the v-cut in it. I sawed the outline of my shape.

I used tracing paper to trace the outline of the shape of Illinois. I measured the size I will want the bracelet by measuring the size of my wrist. length= 4 inches, width= 2 inches (AN//sizes are on photo)

I used another photo from online as a reference for the shape and texture I used on my cuff bracelet.

For the actual tracing of the state of Illinois I looked up a photo of the state to use.

I not only looked in the books for texture but also looked online for the type of texture I will be using for cuff bracelet. I used a hammered texture for the cuff and used this picture from online as a reference.
