I really love large projects so once I got the jewelry figured out it was time for a large piece. my pieces with wax are small jewelry size silicone molds so they don't heat up as much. Resin gets warm or very hot depending on the volume your mold requires. Leaving behind an embossed space resembling Reverse intaglio I used the putty to make a positive it was pressed into the silicone mold so I could then have a flexable shape that could easily be removed from cured resin shape. The 2 yellow pieces that are ahead and a part of the Seahorse is made of Amazing putty silicone. The pink mold is a silicone casting mold it is what is common. I wanted to show the difference between the 2 methods so you can make an informed decision. Wax is more affordable but silicone or composimold are reusable. There are high temp waxes if you don't want to cast in silicone.

Similar to the lost wax method in metalworking. I have a few methods, but the one we are doing today is the wax version. I pulled some photos from Google on Reverse Intaglio jewelry, this really was inspiring and gave me a great sense of the look and the amount of detail that each piece possesses. This Ible will teach how I create intricate pieces without using drills and carving tools.

So if you are interested in how to achieve the look of hand-carved Reverse Intaglio, you’re in the right place. After many tries, finally, I could say I did it. I went into the studio and began thinking about how I could recreate this elegant style but in Epoxy. Most important was that I wanted to create not only small jewelry items but large-scale pieces. Yes, we can embed things in resin and cast things in resin, but it was this clear and semi-transparent engraved look that I was interested in. However, I didn’t really find works cast in epoxy. What I found was lots of vintage pieces of reverse carvings from around the 1940s created in Lucite. I sought out to find similar works in resin. The Artisans use many tiny carving tools and painstakingly start carving out the details. Reverse Intaglio seals and jewelry like cameos have intricately carved portraits and scenes, mostly created in Quarts, Onyx, shell, and other stone. As an artist I find it truly rewarding to research the history of such unique things.
