As I was already worried about how my resin pieces were going to turn out and I was having to wait for them to set I decided to do some more work with acetate.
I’m very glad I did now!
These pieces are made from more acetate that I printed my coloured photos of the rusty metal onto. This time though I used aluminium tape on the back. The aluminium tape is nowhere near as nice or as strong, by itself, as the copper tape but it worked very well on the back of the acetate, especially against the blue.
My idea for these pieces came from discovering Stephanie Hopkins‘ work. Beautiful!
I did try this idea with the rusty metal itself but it was simply too tough and didn’t work.
I have now made these pieces and more acetate creations into jewellery which you will be able to see once the exhibition goes up. I’m not going to spoil the surprise!
I love the color and the texture! It’s so beautiful with the dark grey and rusty effects.
Thank you 🙂
I like the triangle theme that appears in your work.
Thanks. I found that the triangle was one of the most repeated shapes in the industrial structures that these designs were based on.
All shapes can be made from triangles, if you use enough of them.
