How To Make A Music Note Bracelet

Piercing plugs and seeds

The creation of piercing plant was established thanks to the request of a friend at a banquet that you break I break that led to the first experiment in this regard.

born
The problem now was how to create the asticina that enters the ear. Coincidentally at the time I had picked up some pins Azzeruolo (Crataegus azarolus ) which went well for the first piercing as long and slender, and usually have a few lenticels on their surface.
is worth spending a few words about what are the lenticels, or 'someone' does not understand ...

The lenticels is an opening for respiration of the plant (as well as leaf stomata), which is usually found on the surface of the trunk or branches, but also at the plug (Hawthorn and Blackthorn) The
structure of lenticels might suggest problems of rubbing against the inner ear; For this reason, initially, dotandomi great patience honed a plug at a time on a piece of sandpaper look forward to being completely smooth surface cord.
Then I had the good fortune to run into Gleditzia triacanthos plant imported from North America as landscaping in gardens and hedges to build impenetrable.


Gleditzia The plugs have the characteristic of being totally free of lenticels, and a godsend for the use to which I was going to apply them, also because of the implementation of some length and diversity of shapes and diameters well suited to various applications within the piercing (larger diameters, expansion, multiple plugs etc ...)
The results after three years of experimentation have been getting to create a line of piercing plant completely and allergy through an application suggested by others: it has come to create a folder in the plug is heated to Steam and get in shape for a day the plug. Another step will be the next coming years to change the pin (spring in spring) directly on the plant and then pick it formed in the fall ... as always a work in progress!

Labs Creative Recycling Plant

School Project "A Seed of the Future"

Laboratory of knowledge and processing on semi

Presentazione

The project working on the seeds will develop a manual approach and theoretical aspects of knowledge about the world of plants and craft techniques with which you can reinterpret it. Inside the school planning area can be integrated educational and artistic expression, scientific and technical.

Participants will be actively involved in several areas:

- cognitive, compared to the recognition of plant species used and the life cycle of plants;

- practical, than the various stages of processing (grinding, plant dyes ,

polishing, drilling, assembly and production of natural jewelry)

- relational and educational, participatory and cooperative approach with respect to the maturation of environmental awareness related to issues of biodiversity and recycling.

Recipients

pupils of primary and secondary school 1st grade, community centers and

educational associations.

Goals - understand and recognize the plant species used and their life cycle;

- gain practical skills related a simple processing techniques;

- create an object with the skills acquired recycling plant;

- learn to work cooperatively in groups and respectful;

- mature environmental awareness related to issues of biodiversity and recycling.

Methodologies

- interactive teaching

- iconic and multi-sensory stimulation (pictures, images, direct manipulation of seeds)

Tools

bike - modified belt, pulley, pivot and bevel plate

abrasive

- vegetable dyes

- Tools for drilling the seed

- Photographs and pictures

Phases / timing

The workshop is structured as a course of 2 days, 3 hours each.

modulation time of the project is sensitive to change depending on the number of participants and may be modified to meet specific needs in particular will be possible to broaden the spectrum of action based on a particular interest or curiosity.

day 1:

Introduction: a few words will be spent on knowledge of the vegetation, biodiversity, recycling within the craft and to the species that will be used in the laboratory; in particular, the Palms will be considered as a progenitor plant (dwarf palm: the only wild in Italy, Canary Island date palm, Sabal Palm and Palm Chinese). Also you can see and touch the seeds in various stages of processing that participants face in the laboratory.

Cleanliness skins: the cleaning of the skin is to remove the part which is the fruit pulp of the palm trees in particular will be implemented to mechanically peel the seeds of the Canary Island date palm and Sabal, while those of Trachycarpus have to 'suffer' treatment soaking and riessicazione (the next day we will proceed to the cleaning of the skins is that smoothing) Finally, the dates of Palma Nana will be peeled by hand as impossible any attempt at cleaning.

Smoothing seeds : using modified bicycle with a belt, pulley, pivot to

bevel plate and abrasive that will made to use the teachers (or parents) who will interact directly in the laboratory at this stage of processing.

dyes on the seeds: the seeds are all dyed using vegetable dyes by

brewing process and etching rock alum and vinegar.

2 nd day:

etching on semi : locked in the grip some seeds will be engraved with simple files of various sizes

Composing jewel : with semi-finished products will be implemented to bucarli one by one (the proceedings will not be taught to children but which will provide a practical demonstration) and the assembly of a necklace, pendant, bracelet, depending on demand.

"Creativity is not limited to people who practice traditional forms of art, as well as in the case of creative artists is not restricted to the exercise of their art. Each of us has a creative potential that is overshadowed by the success of competitiveness and aggression. " J. Berjus

Subject to individual needs, organize workshops 1, 2 or 3 days on various aspects of my work , especially the topics treated are:

- Processing of seeds (smoothing, dyeing with vegetable dyes and engraving)

- Piercing plant

- Bells of plum and apricot with a piercing

- Plugs

- Study of recyclable plant species in the treated area (with outputs exploratory for recognition)

- lamps and chandeliers

Workshops are for a minimum of 6 participants and more than the cost of the workshop provides a refund on variable costs of moving.
