Working in the face II

face with detail

Backside of face, I used wax burs to get the extera wax out.


Working on the face

I have been working on carving face on wax for one week.
When I first start the face I was having some problem with dimensional perspective.
1st face, too much problem with air bubbles.

Now I have improve a lot on wax working and it looks so much better when I first started.

The first face that I carved have a lot of problem, such as air bubbles.

Since I am using adding wax process for my face, I have be aware of adding wax without creating too much air bubbles. As in progress, I have discover I have to add wax when it's "smoking hot."

Theme of the Semester & My show

My theme of the semester is I love Taiwan.
Since I am an International student, and I love my country very much.
I would like to use my own  way to introduce Taiwan to everybody with my jewelry pieces.


For my first series of design is inspired from Taiwanese temple culture.

Eight Infernal Generals is a very common performing group in the Taiwaneses temple culture.

Here is some image of the group.

Eight Infernal Generals have eight different character, and they have different facial painting to  present each individually, so in my design I would like to corporate the color from enamel on the casting pieces.
