Presentation - "Cat Scan" and "Nesting" Construction Techniques Using the Sillhouette Curio

This presentation will explain two new approaches to jewelry construction.

The "cat scan" approach uses design "slices" created in Silhouette software, to stack onto one another creating height and volume in a hollow form. Using the silhouette allows for extreme precision and enables us to hide mechanisms such as hinges.

The "nesting" technique uses origami and Russian nesting doll theories of slab construction creating multidimensional pieces of jewelry.
