Jewelry Making 13-One Year Course 2017

During painting class, I finally finished my painting with the background and shadow colour. We learnt that the “table white” is not painted using only white paint but a mixture of white and yellow.

As Christmas is approaching, Santa Croce is having a Christmas market with stalls selling food and products from Germany. I had a German sausage for dinner and shopped around.

On the first Sunday of the month, entry to musuem is free! So in the morning I went to visit the Pitti musuem.

My main focus was the Argento museo which was an eye opening experience as I got to see many detailed pieces made decades ago by famous craftsman, worn by the royal family.

After lunch, I also managed to enter the Uffizi Gallery after a short 15 minutes wait. Compared to normal days where one has to queue for over an hour, it was much quieter in the afternoon.

Uffizi Gallery was a little different compared to the Pitti Musuem. They have more works by famous artists and walking down the halls felt like a maze.

I finally got to see the famous “Venus” by Botticelli. There was a huge crowd around it and it felt surreal to see the painting in real life than on the computer screen.

Back to my ring, I finally finished it! I love the side profile and the open gallery. I am very pleased with my result of the ring.

This is the top view of the ring. It is shaped like a flower, with blue topaz in the center and 10 white cubic zirconia around it.

I ended my week by trying an aperitivo! It was a first experience for me and I liked it very much. The drink and food was good and I managed to catch up with my friend.
