Wax
Carving Technique Series:
The D Blank
Did you know that
most of the jewelry you see in stores, galleries, and magazines began
as a piece
of wax? A model of the artist's design is carved from a special jeweler's
wax, which can then be cast into silver, gold, or even platinum.
The first in
our series of wax technique videos, The D Blank takes
you step by step through the process of creating a framework for
almost any ring design. Rather
than teaching you to make one particular ring, the D Blank is a foundation
that allows you to "rough out" the technical details of
your design first; the height and width of the ring, the width and
thickness
of the shank,
the taper of the shank, and the desired ring size. Once you have
established the basic form, you are free to focus on the more creative
aspects of
your design. The D Blank is also a great way
to familiarize yourself with some basic tools
and measuring instruments that you'll be using in ALL of your wax carving projects.
