VSK Clay Wallet
I wanted to make something out of clay, and I somehow came up with an idea of how to implement it into a wallet. I used silver clay to make 2 thin rectangular panels and etched a vsk pattern onto it, and then baked it. Then I made a duct tape wallet but used the two clay parts as the outside. The cool thing about the clay was that I can have whatever custom 3-D textured on the outside. It hardens into an almost flexible type plastic so its really durable.

Pistachio Art
My mom left me a jar of roasted Pistachios (Piste) in my room for me to eat all the time. This time i put the shells aside and kept them instead of throwing them away. Every time I ate some I tried to think of an idea of what to make with them. Finally I came up with this. Its a piece of cardboard covered with black construction paper, some wooden garden stake things painted gold, and the the shells washed, dried, and hot-glued on. Now its a display piece in our hallway!

Copper Art
Last semester I took a 3D art class at my college in which I learned a lot of cool new stuff, including how to emboss/engrave thin sheets of copper to depict an image in a way that really ‘pops out.’
For my project I made an image of Harmandir Sahib. It took a lot of work.. I was surprised at how it came out!
After the class was over I tried to figure out new ways to present this type of art and enhance its appearance. I made this as a gift for someone. I wanted to make it a unique display piece in the sense that it looks like its going to fall or its balancing at an impossible angle. The support is a hole drilled into the tile sample with a bent nail going through it.
Then I tried another approach for this present by painting the copper silver. I cut it out and glued it onto a CD,then I made a stand for it out of cut Popsicle sticks painted silver. I wanted to give it a minimalistic floating kind of look, from the front you cant see the sticks, just the base.
I decided to try and take this technique to the next level by attempting it on a piece of aluminum.
After embossing the letters, I painted them in black, cut it out and attached it over the original emblem on my car to customize it!

More Wallets!
I’ve started making some new wallets with different materials, but in another style.
These have unique materials(real boxes/wrappers/cans) on the outside but they are regular real full featured wallets on the inside. These will be up for sale soon! And half the price of the previous ones 😉
