Objet USB

This is a rendering for a completed project for my digital object design 2 class. Using Rhino, I created a housing for a flash drive. I had it printed in objet, a smooth plastic material. The final product will have a cord threaded through it to put on my keys, because I have a tendency to loose flash drives very quickly if they are not attached to something important.

Hortensia

This is my second piece for Senior Project. It is a sterling silver, hinged locket with a pierced lace pattern on both the front and the back. It holds dried hydrangea flowers from my grandmother's garden.


The title, Hortensia, comes from the common name for the genus Hydrangea.

My collection focuses on capturing memories of my grandmother’s garden and incorporates floral elements and scroll-work designs through the use of traditional metalsmithing techniques.
