Design Explanation:

I chose the 3D star design because it looks cool and has cultural meaning. Stars are symbols found in many cultures. The 3D design adds more depth and makes it more visually interesting.

Justification:

People were asked for their opinions on different designs and the majority preferred the 3D star design for its uniqueness.

Step 1 (lesson 1):

Gather materials: Wood, resin, sandpaper, measuring tape, pencil, masking tape, clamps, screws/nails, wood glue.

Gather tools: Saw, drill, chisel, hammer or screwdriver, resin mixing tools.

Measure and mark the desired size and shape of the wooden star on the wood.

Cut out the star shape from the wood using a saw.

Sand the edges and surfaces of the wooden star.

Ensure the wood is clean.

time: 1 hour.

Step 2 (Lesson 2):

Prepare the resin

Mix the resin

Pour the resin mixture onto the wooden star.

time: 1 hour

Step 3 (Lesson 3):

wait for the resin to harden

time: 24 hours

Step 4 (Lesson 4):

Sand the resin surface using progressively finer grits of sandpaper.

Polish the resin surface with a polishing compound or resin-specific polish.

time: 1 hour

B. Tools & Materials:

Tools: Saw, drill, chisel, hammer or screwdriver.

Step 2:

Materials: Resin

Tools: N/A

Step 3: N/A

Step 4:

Materials: Sandpaper, polishing compound or resin-specific polish.

tools and material:

In the original plan, only wooden planks and basic woodworking tools may have been necessary. However, with the decision to add resin, additional materials such as epoxy resin and a brush for application would have been required. This change in materials allowed for the resin to be applied to the wooden star pendant, Making a protective coating and have a better visual appeal.

process:

The process of making the star pendant would have also changed due to the addition of resin. After cutting the wooden planks into the star shape. This would involve sanding or smoothing the wood to ensure a clean and even surface. The resin would then be applied using a brush, allowing it to cover the entire surface of the wooden star pendant. The resin would need time to dry and harden, adding an extra step to the process.

Time:

Since I added resin, the time extended because the drying and hardening time required for the resin would have increased the duration.

I think that the product itself still needs some working on it because the process of making jewelry took such a long time leaving me with no final product since the drying of the resin is too long and the product is too big so it isn't wearable. Furthermore the design of this jewelry piece doesn't really have an impact on the endangered culture as well, instead it just helps to symbolized the judiasm culture. Although there are space for improvement but it also so comes with some succeeding parts as well such as the design of the jewelry. The jewelry design has a simple yet eye catching design since it's kind of big. the whole point of this design is to provide with a simple and cultural appropriate.

This project aimed to create a piece of jewelry that expresses characteristics of Jewish culture by making a wood star with resin. The design successfully reflects cultural elements through its use of the Star of David and traditional Jewish motifs, effectively meeting the project goal. The potential for further development and wider sharing is significant, as the piece can be easily replicated and customized to appeal to different audiences. However, it's essential to ensure cultural sensitivity to avoid misrepresentation and to prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials. My strong work ethic and organization, including thorough research into Jewish symbolism, timely execution of the design and production processes, and meticulous attention to detail, greatly contributed to the project's overall success. This structured approach ensured that the final product is both respectful of the culture it represents and aesthetically pleasing.
