3D Design¶
3D printing¶
After making some art by hand, I can't stop thinking about trying digital art. There are so many ideas in my head, and I feel like I have endless chances to create something. It's like my brain is always with artists. I'm just a person whose mind can't stop thinking of trying new things in the art world. lets see the try's i do it digitally with Blender.
Following my sketches I tried to recreate organic shapes inspired by animal horns in 3D with basic symmetries and revolutions commands in the software.
Here some of the designs I generated also by digitally sculpting a sphere with the selected commands and specifying the radius and intensity of brush
I mirrored the shapes obtained and created interesting new forms.
I also tried something more minimal that can be achieved by both 3d printing and CNC milling and at the same time versatile for my collection.
I also tried to clone and scale down the same forms to create different confiturations of jewels and I played with different brushes to create more organic or more sharp edges.
3D Printing¶
I firstly tested some ssmall scale jewels with supports in PLA filament, starting from the basic shapes.
3D Printing settings from Cura software
Ultimaker S5
Material: PLA
Print speed: 40
Layer Hight: 0.1
Infill: 20%
Retraction distance: 6 mm
Retraction speed: 70
printing temperature 200C
I finally printed a real size jewels and places in different parts of the body using a mannequin fo reference. I added a raffia strip to transform it into a wearable piece.
Final result after printing with support and without
Different configurations on the body¶
After printing several versions of the same design I decided to flip the shapes and adding metal chains to link them together in a necklace. You can see the process in the metalworking page

“Regret”
“Regret” is a wearable, sculptural piece of art that embodies the lingering weight of transgressions. This horn-shaped ornament is a tangible reminder of past sins, enveloping you in its presence. Its placement on your body is completely up to you, allowing you to decide where it is most convenient to have it.
“Repentant”
“Repentant” is a wearable sculptural artwork that encapsulates the feelings of guilt and shame you feel when taking something that does not belong to you, especially from innocent creatures. Sharp edges symbolize danger and harm to animals. Designed in the shape of a horn, it encircles your neck, serving as a constant reminder of the shame associated with such actions, and urging reflection and repentance.
"Despair"
“Despair” embodies the weight of sadness, appearing as a flowing waterfall that envelops your neck and extends to your limbs, weighing down your back and shoulders. Made of stone, the choice of material reflects enduring pain, with one carved from limestone shaped like a mixture of emotions.
"shameful"
“Shame” is a wearable sculptural piece of art that reflects the burden of shame when one commits wrongdoing. The weight of the pain is palpable, symbolizing the desire to hide one's transgressions from others, revealing the inner struggle to admit one's mistakes.
Named “Shamed,” this carved piece of jewelry embodies the elegance of wood, but is made from animal-friendly materials, ensuring no harm was caused to any creatures during its making.
“holy kinship”
This wearable sculptural piece, called “Sacred Kinship,” embodies the bond shared between me and my siblings, the elephant and the rhinoceros. It represents a collective apology and acknowledgment that the burden of responsibility falls not only on me, but on my fellow creatures as well. Together, we realize that our plight is not individual, but shared among our people.
