Advanced Crafts (Grad Course)
My final project for this course had to focus on jewelry. I chose to create a crown inspired by crowns seen in Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2015 runway show. I hand painted yellow gold lamp banding and ivory acrylic rose beads to appear a vintage brass color. I used steel wire hangers for the base structure as well as the two jeweled tiers. Using Epoxy, I glued the two steel wire tiers to the lamp banding as well as some of the adornments on the tiers. The other adornments that weren't glued were secured using wire or were hand sewn. The final touch was epoxying the flowers to the side of the crown.

Using adhesive vinyl, matte spray paint, and acrylic paint, I re-created a 1965 Army Military Police combat helmet and armband.
