A collection of classic generative artworks that were recoded, reimagined and made into jewelry. They are high quality photopaper-art-pieces molded into sythetic resign. Follow these instructions to make your own artistic resin jewelry.

Materials:

• Epoxy resin
• Hardener
• Silicone molds
• Mixing cups
• Stirring sticks
• Sandpaper (1000 grit)
• Drill
• Eye screws or jump rings
• Chains or cords
• Photopaper 150g

Make sure you have a clean and well-ventilated area to work in. Cover your workspace with a plastic sheet or newspaper to protect it from spills.

Mix the epoxy resin and hardener according to the instructions on the package. Stir the mixture thoroughly for at least five minutes to ensure it's well-blended.

Generate various patterns with the help of the opensource software "Processing". Get inspireted by classical artworks such as by Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky or Jackson Pollock. Export the results to a JPG and save them on your computer.

Now print the artworks with a photo-printer. Make sure they are in the same shape and size of your silicone-molds. Then cut the printed shapes out with some sissors.

Pour the resin mixture into silicone molds. Fill them to the top.

Add your pieces of artworks printed on photo-paper to the resin mixture. Press the paper down until it almost reaches the ground. Make sure your Resign remains in the molds.

Allow the resin to cure for at least 24 hours. Keep it in a warm, dry place and avoid touching or moving the molds during this time.

Once the resin has cured, carefully remove the jewelry pieces from the molds. Use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.

Drill a small hole in the top of the resin piece and insert an eye screw or jump ring. This will allow you to attach a chain or cord to your jewelry.

Attach your chains or cords to the eye screws or jump rings.

Your resin jewelry is now ready to wear! Enjoy your new unique art-pieces.
